How to change awd to fwd in a 2G 5 spd?

Hey if i cant find an awd 2g trans for my 95 GSX i am concidering just getting a 5speed from a gs-t. is there anything i have to do becides remove my driveshaft to the rear differential? please let me know any help is appriciated!

Yup, get you head checked out. Is you crazy? Why the hell would you want to for from AWD to FWD? Keep lookin man, you'll find one.

Hey, the only one i can find is 1,000 and thats without shipping! if you can find me one under 600 dollars ill take it. this is just my ride to work and it needs to get fixed!

How many splines?

uhh i think i read all 2g's are 23 spline, but i may not be correct. why, do you have a trans for me? lol a 1g trans doesnt work i looked into that first because those are a dime a dozen compaired too awd 2 g trans's

Hit up any junk yards? eBay? www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds (http://www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds)?

How many splines?
i believe all 2g's came with a 23 spline transfer case. why, do you have a transmission you want 2 sell me?!

i checked dsm tuners with no luck for an awd trans, the 95-96 ones seam like there hard to find! its a shame cause my GSX is almost PERFECT becides the trans

Unless I am mistaken, you can use a tranny from aa 97-99 as well.

How many splines?
all 2g's and 92 and up came with 23 spline transfer cases

You DO realise you quoted the same person twice.. right? Searching will definitely make things a lot easier, especially if you want it done right.

yeah ive been searching for the past week and the cheepest i can find is a JDM one for 1,000. if i cant find a trans i think i am gunna sell the car because i dont have that kind of money to spend on it right now.

lol, I can't afford another DSM man. I want a GSX as a daily driver but man I have too much money going into my TSi now. You can donate it to me and write it off as chariety on your taxes. lol :p

Shepherd can do a stock rebuild on your tranny for $945 if you really need to go that route. He built both my trannys and they have been rock solid man. He built my new one to be good for 10k rpm shifts... I just haven't got to test the new one out yet. lol

if i could rebuild my trans i would but its DESTOYED. the one gear took huge chunks out of the case and chewed everything up its done for. im gunna pull it apart tonight for the hell of it and see what all is destroyed

Know what I think? Perfect opportunity to do a 6 bolt swap. Like you said, 1d awd trannies are all over. My buddy is parting out his car, we've got a 6 bolt and the tranny if you want it.

what are you looking to get for it? btw when we got the t-case checked out (thought it might be a recall) at the dealership they sayed the motors got crank walk :banghead:

When doing the 6 bolt swap into a 2g, you keep your 2g tranny because the 1g's rear motor mount is off the motor and not the tranny. The only way we can have our rear mount is by means of the tranny. Therefore we must keep our 2g trannys... Unless somebody wants to try a fun welding project on a 1g tranny. lol

Actually, my last tranny had a shift rail break and took out a lot of gears and everything. I'm sure its fixable unless you had something bust through the actually tranny housing.

Ok, depending on where it may have busted through it could still be fixable.

Hey im going to my garage and take pics of it in a couple of minutes, but do you know the cover you take off the side of the trans, heres a picture. http://vfaq.com/proj-pics/tranny/rebuild/viscLSoffARROW.jpg look at the arrow on the right, that shaft moves eather way about an inch or so thats what im talking about thats why i dont know if it can be rebuilt or not.

Ouch... Thats not good at all. I'm sure that its fixable though. It could be a shaft or some gear teeth broke and causing it to have some play in there and that wouldn't be so bad to replace.

hey, check out the pictures on my cardomain of the problem with the trans, it moves about 1/8th inch each way. what do you think happend to cause this? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2422229 :shakehead

I definetly see either intermediate shaft or input shaft bearings and some syncro rings... The worst it may have done is deeply scar the shafts and/or damage some other internal parts. It should be fixable man. :thumbsup:

**EDIT**
I almost forgot... The bearings probably just naturally wore out. If you are running too thick of an oil though, that will also shorten the life of the bearing. :2cents:

Lets just stick with saying its bearing failure.

So you think its fixable? when i get the time (1 week old baby and cars at my parents garage) and when its not so damn hott here (94 today!) im going to pull the trans, split the case and check out my damage. Check the cardomain site again for another picture of the side cover, i wanted to say that it somehow that gear i suppose gounded a hole in the side cover so i think i will be needing one of those if i cant jb weld it or something :banghead:

Hmmm, I see that. I think that when the bearing went out it just slide the end of the shaft into it. If your gonna use JB weld just make sure theres no huge goobers hangin on the inside because I'm not sure how tight that shaft fits in the groove... Maybe once it all hardens, sand it down flush? Not sure how exactly... Where exactly is Allentown? Is it close to Ohio or is it more over by the ocean?

Hey, yeah thats what im going to do with the JB weld. allentown is like 10miles from nj and about 40 miles north of phili
