awd to fwd??, is it possible to do this Options

[hockeyplyr24]

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??

On the MR2 tranny there is also the issue of the custom rear tranny mount (the one to the rear of the car). The stock GT one does not fit and the stock MR2 one does not fit either. Saynug and I made one for his car at my shop but it took a few hours of cutting up the two stock mounts and welding certain peices back together and some custom stuff on top of that. In the end it worked great but it's not very feasible for someone who does not have the benifit of having a fab shop to go to for free shop time and labor.
The MR2 tranny is the best way to go though. Try to make sure you get the one with LSD - some don't have it ('90-'92 i believe though I could be wrong about the years). And make sure it is the Turbo one - the N/A one will be the same as your stock tranny but with the headache of the rear mount problem.
