he is %100 correct. It's a damn shame everytime an rt gets converted to fwd. Sell what you have for good money, assuming it isn't rusty, and get a minty fwd to swap into.

aren't you going to have to deal with swapping out the cable shifter too? maybe that's not a big deal.... i have a b20 lsd fwd wagon. i'll trade you cars.

What driveshaft are you removing? If you disconnect the prop shaft that runs front to rear, that should not cause an oil leak.

Yeah, don't convert the RT. Sell it to someone who will appreciate it.
