im lookin to put the 3sgte engine in my car..but it does come w/an awd tranny..i was talkin to the guy at the local motorsports place around here..and he said he could convert the awd tranny to fwd bc it'd prolly be alot cheaper for me to do instead of converting the whole car to awd..what are your thoughts on this? can this really be done and should i go for it??

the half the hp theory is bull****, some of the 185 trannies have a awd/fwd switch which disables the transfercase gear and like kwanza said theyre similiar trannies with the exception of the transfer case. now it has been said this is not safe for the tranny and should be used only for diagnostics. but as i see it the only way it can fail is if you are driving and the switch mentioned slips from fwd to awd while driving could be what does the harm. if somebody would like to prove me wrong then show some facts or some live testing (i have a 185 tranny i can test if it really comes down to it) atleast something will be accomplished.
