Tranny Choices.

Switchable between 2wd and 4wd.

More precisly FWD and AWD.

what does it mean when you say "switchable"?

Don't hold me to this, but I believe the Japanese Galant VR4's were sold with "switchable" drivetrains. You can make the car go from AWD to FWD by removing a bolt and a bracket from the tranny and a bolt and a bracket from the transfer case.

I know a yard that has a couple of 1G AWD trannys

The switchable ones have different t-cases that can be switched between 2 and awd. We have one here we aren't currently using. I doubt we will use it either because the car isn't close to running and probably won't again. You can use them on dsm trannies also. The one we have is off of a 91-94.

So I could just use a "switchable" transfer case with my "normal" awd tranny?

[joem]

if you have a welded center diff or a spool

[sleepydsm]

Hmmm, but that's not very good for a "street car"

[slowbubblecar]

It can be used with a regular 91-94 tranny. We planned on using it for John's car but might just part it out as we are getting a house and won't have time to mess with it much.

will a 1991 gvr4 tranny/xfer work fine in my 92?

As long has you have the transfer case with the tranny it will work. The only difference is the gears are a little longer. I think that is what it is called. I have a gvr4 in my car and I can rev 1 gear to 30 mph. I don't know how long my rear end is going to hold though. I know that if the gearing is not correct with the rear. Things are going to break. RRE has a good write up on tranny. You might want to check out there web site.
