I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Not sure why you would want to do that? Unless you are trying to use a awd tranny in a fwd car??

if its a stick yes if you install a viscous coupler eliminater or spool if not the viscous coupler will burn up because all the power will be sent to the rear axle which is not there actually the awd are alot stronger than the fwd tranny team rip makes a spool(very nice i have one in my eclipse)gives you a true 50/50 power split

Hey don i think team rip went out of business.. remember when you ordered one from us for your 1g and it never showed up for months, i was thinking the same thing too but either way its a pain to do the swap anyways, we have pissed around with one up here at the shop in the past, customer wanted to swap this and that.. screw that.. best bet get a vr4 and be done with it honestly.. oh and while your at it dot forget to replace that oil pump while its all out.. those bastards are always going bad
