My Legacy AWD tranny has officially Shait!, it will only go in reverse.

tha only Junk yard cars I can find are FWD, is this a doable swap? or is it the same tranny but the addition on the transfer case makes it an AWD.

 

I really need to get this car back on the road, and am willing to give up the AWD if going with a FWD tranny will work.

 

Thanks for your help.

It should work. You'll probably need a FWD transmission computer as well. You'll also need a FWD trans mount too. I've got a brand new one I bought to make a custom mount when I had my AT. If you're interested in it, let me know.

sometimes FWD and AWD trans use the same TCU (transmission computer), so you may not need that. you should be able to find an AWD trans for it if you look around though. keep trying, replacing with a stock trans would be nice. whatever you get, install an aftermarket trans cooler when you install the next trans.

If you do go with an AWD trans replacement from a different year/car. Make sure you check that the front diff has the same gear ratio as your rear.
