The starter plate will need to be swapped. I think that is about it. I've done the swap several times. Both FWD and AWD.

If he is using the same tranny for the swap, why would he need to put in 1g axles because of a 6 bolt swap? I didn't think the motor moved the tranny over. I don't understand the shift arm thing either. You know he already had the 2g tranny in his car and is swaping in a 6 bolt right?

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
