Re: awd vs fwd

If you are going for cheapness, autos are not the way to go... Not only would you have to replace the trans, but the shift gear, petal assembly, computer, wiring harness, rear diff (autos use different gearing). Then build up the auto trans... expensive.

Not worth it IMO

AWD vs FWD?

Sounds like your FWD needs more parts then the AWD

Might as well save your money and fix your AWD trans or buy another transmission that someone is selling around here. After that it sounds like you are good to go. That is a pretty easy fix. The FWD needs an engine and a transmission.
If you plan on going in a straight line most of the time, then you could probably get away with welding your diff. If you are planing on making lots of turns then I would stay away from it.
