Im looking to do an AWD swap to my Spyder, and found a potential donor car. Only problem with said donor car is that it is an Auto.
Out of all the parts that i need for the FWD to AWD conversion, what can NOT be from an auto.
On Vfaq this is what they list as needed:
1. Entire 2G AWD rear sub-frame (Including the large bushings that bolt between the sub-frame and the unibody.)
2. Sub-frame Bolts (These bolts hold the sub-frame to the unibody. The FWD bolts are shorter. You will need to cut a square out of the sheet metal above each bolt in order to get the AWD bolts out of the donor car.)
3. Rear suspension set up (Including ABS Knuckles (if applicable), sway bar, control arms, shocks, and springs. You may use the FWD shocks and springs, but they are a different spring rate.)
4. E-Brake cables
5. Rear differential
6. AWD Front and rear axles (Splines must match transmission and differential. If you have ABS these must be ABS axles.)
7. Drive shaft with mount brackets, bushings, spacers, washers, and nuts.
8. Drive shaft frame hangers (These must be cut out of the tunnel of the donor car then welded in place on the project car.)
9. Transfer case (Input shaft splines must match transmission)
10. AWD transmission
11. AWD 7 Bolt Flywheel (It is smaller than the FWD flywheel. 6 bolt conversions will need a 6 bolt flywheel.)
12. AWD exhaust (I just upgraded to a 3 turbo back.)
13. AWD exhaust hangers
14. Fuel filler neck (Be sure to get the fuel filler neck that matches the fuel tank from the donor car. 1995-97 differs from 1998-99.)
15. AWD fuel tank (Be sure to get fuel pump assembly and level sending essembly.)
16. AWD fuel tank straps and shield
17. AWD fuel pump wire harness (At least the connectors for the fuel pump and level sending unit.)
Im pretty sure everything in Bold i can use from an Auto
Im getting a Manual trans in a week, so just wondering what i can and can not take from the car
Thanks for anyones input
