anyone ever seen a crv trans modified to rwd only?

 

havnt ever actually seen a crv trans (nooby to honda)
but i would assume it would be a similar situation as a subaru. You can basically put a dummy plug (kinda like an axle with out the axle) into the front, and then the rear just drives it self. or the proper way, would be totally removing the front diff and putting in a spacer to fill the void. my guess is it wouldnt be to hard.

 

the only problem being the rear drive train components of a crv were never designed to handle the full torque of the engine, you would need to instal a real rear diff and drive shaft to get rid of the viscous coupling. cause that would not work with full time RWD

its actually a direct drive from the gear stack to the diff and transfer shaft. so you don't need anything to lock into the diff, all you need is plugs to keep the oil in. but i would strongly doubt that the transfer case that was designed to work in conjunction with a viscous coupling will take the shock loading of being RWD direct drive to the diff. unfortunately i don't see this happening, keep it awd if you already have it, hell the guys that have done awd swaps have problems with the transfer case (and thats with a viscous coupling), i dont see it working at all by its self

 

i own an 01 crv 5spd. first time i did a burn out the front wheels spun but nothing from the back! next day my clutch would not grab. the dealer told me the master and slave cylindar both went. so i highly doubt that the rear dif could handle even a d15's tourqe let alone a b18 or even b16 for that matter.

 

if you want a rwd crv(why god why) shoehorn a gm 4.3 and 5speed in there and have a custom driveshaft made. Maybe find a stronger IRS diff and get custom driveshafts made. That sounds like a pain in the *** but I bet it would be easier than getting the stock crv drivetrain to hold up to rwd only. I think magic would be the only way to make that happen.

 

Braile did it in an Integra. Better off reversing the rotation, fabbing an adaptor plate and flywheel, and using a RWD trans. It will actually hold power and have less frictional loss.

 

i help a custumer witch run a crv drive train in his 460whp civic
so from what i see it is not i good ideal to use this transmition for a rwd setup
all the power canot be transmited reliably by thr pto witch is a weak point
+there is a clutch system in the rear diff that you need to cancel

if you want to run 4wd you can install a gsr quaife or m factory diff with a litle machine work and different bault ... ...

 

are there any rwd trannys out there? do the v6 rotate the same way as the k series?

 

Yes and yes

you can use almost any rwd trans provided you have an adapter plate made

 

so i could get a kennedyeng adapterplate and run rwd?

 

Here you go.

a local has a RT4WD wagon with FWD delete. its a D tranny, how ever.

 

well has anyone modded the 4wd system with the j series to make it just rwd?
