B20Z w/ 4WD trans into EF?

I'm looking to swap my EF with a B20Z. The swap I'm buying has the CRV's 4WD trans on it currently. I'm trying to use it with a car that needs a cable trans, and I also only want to use it as FWD, not 4WD.

Can I use this transmission for the swap? Or would you recommend I get a normal B-series cable trans? I'm new to B-series, and I tried to do a **** load of Googling, but really couldn't find anything about this trans.

Thanks for the help y'all

Get a standard cable b series trans. You can sell the 5 speed awd tranny for 800 bucks give or take. The awd transmission is cable shifter vs shift rod, also it's hydro and doesn't feel right with the cable to hydro conversion at all. Also the trans mount and t bracket are different then a standard fwd transmission. Also the crv transmission is a 4.652 final drive making the gearing very short, like jdm itr tranny short.
