[91AwdTsiNoobie]

i have looked and i couldn't really find what i was looking for so please inform me if there is a post about this. i am looking to convert my awd tsi 5speed too a fwd speed for my own reasons . now is it possible? i have a stock 1991 talon tsi awd. thanks

you could just throw a fwd tranny in there if you had a fwd flywheel and starter plate, and remove the drive shaft

so the awd flywheel wont work? and the drive shaft is out. i am only doing this because i do not have money to buy a new awd transmission . i have already dropped $400 on the motor to get it running . its only temporary.

An AWD flywheel will not work in a FWD turbo transmission, or vice versa.

You can modify your AWD to run FWD, but it isn't... "easily reversible" for lack of better words. Check this thread: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/396887-1g-swap-fwd-using-awd-tranny.html#post152516883.

well i know some guy thats selling a complete turbo fwd engine and transmission. i am most likely going to drop the whole thing in . i am just wondering if the front axles will go in or what other mods i would have to do to get it on the road.

You need the Front Wheel Axles as well.

FW Axles,
FW Starter,
FW Flywheel,
FW Starter Plate, and
FW Tranny.

Should be able to use both AWD axles. Check these out:

Read this on the driver side AWD axle in a FWD application: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-drivetrain/402528-equal-length-half-shafts-mod-awd-axle-fwd.html

Starter doesn't matter so long as it isn't from an automatic.

After you locate and buy all the parts, it's probably easier getting your AWD transmission rebuilt. I had a local shop do mine. It was about $600 with labor, new sychros, bearings, and new dual syncronized 2nd gear with hub and slider. Chances are, that another transmission you buy from a 1g will be notchy and have grinds. Every 1g DSM I've ever owned does, and every transmission I have bought used to replace with have always been gone through.

yea this is the second transmission that took a dump on me . i need a car to get too work and this is the easiest and cheapest way i think i could find. i have 2 i can get rebuilt i am not sure which one ,but 1 of them none the less. thanks for the help

you just gonna need all the fwd parts and only elimitate the driveshaft and rear axles.
