Now Obviously I know you cant utilize the 4wd system with any other tranny, but say you really need car back on road, could you use any other hydro B-series tranny and convert car to just FWD?
If you can figure out a way around the cable shifter...

That just made me laugh, cry, punch a few walls, and get sick to my stomach all in one... Regardless, it would still have to be duplicated - should be easy enough.

Well, since my CRV is already a manual, I think I can make it work with the stock location... we will see. It sounded like he used a civic linkage that he modifyed

Just be prepared for the shitty MPG, I was driving a 92 integra and a 91 civic wagon averaging $40 fill ups and getting around 500-600 kms, the crv I fill up at $60 and only get 400kms

That doesn't seem right. My 2000 slush box gets 23 mpg (about 60/40 city/highway) combined and 31 mpg highway. This is on stock drivetrain and suspension.
