yes, you could put a vr4 (awd) tranny into an SL (fwd) car, but why would you want to? the AWD tranny has longer gears, and since you only have NA power (222hp), then you can't fully utilize the long gears. as a result, you're acceleration will go downhill (esp. in 3rd).

also, FWD trannies are much cheaper than the AWD trannies.
