awd to fwd

[BigKat773]

hey i know it sounds crazy, but it's only for the time being. and sorry if it's already been addresed but i didn't find it and i'm really in a hurry. i have a 1g awd, will a 1g fwd tranny bolt right in? and if not is there anything to do to make it work?

Yes it will. But I can't remeber if the axles will fit. But I believe they will. If the tranny is from a 90-91 you may need to take the bracket that holds your shifter cables off the 92 tranny and move it to the other one. I think thats about it.

thanks for the info man, anybody knows anything about the axles needing to be changed?

u will have to change the flywheel

It depends what year fwd trans you have. All AWD's have the smaller diamater axles and only 90-92.5 FWD's have the smaller axles. After that, 92.5+ FWD's have larger diamater axles that won't fit in the smaller axle trans'. Also depending on the year FWD trans you have you may need to change the shifter cables/brackets etc for proper shifting. And like above is posted you need a FWD flywheel with a FWD trans.

How long is temporary? Have you ever thought about getting a welded VC and removing the rear driveshaft? It would be a lot less work. If you are doing this because your AWD tranny is shot just disregard what I just said.
