the system used in the AWD wagon was the first generation of "RealTime 4WD"
it used a viscous coupling between the driveshaft from the tranny and the driveshaft to the rear wheels. it would transfer power through to the back wheels when the fronts were slipping....similar(yet different) to the AWD system used on current CRV's.

Anyone know if the internals are the same as a normal d-series tranny? Would be interesting if you could drop in a different gear set

People talk **** on the wagons, but they really can be fast. I remember a brown one from 16 18 22 that was taking everyone out one night and he had 3 other people in it, of course it had a swap... That shift **** above looks pretty bitchin I wouldnt mind having that in my car to trip people out

They just got a KILLER car. I picked up one with 225k and rusted to **** for $650. It lasted me for two winters before i sold it for $600.

The cool thing about the wagon is that if you find one with a good body and tranny, a nice a6 or ZC can do it wonders.. Even a supercharger The fact that they are good in snow is an understatement.

Wish i would have seen that auction... Would have picked it up but 5 hondas at one time is justa lil silly

But it's not the AWD right? I heard you can't swap into the AWD and keep the AWD working.

I thought it would be cool to get one and swap my ZC into it, but when I found out I would have to not have the AWD I said screw it.

If anyone has information that says I could use my ZC and still have the AWD work then I'll find one and be selling a nice CRX shell.

you have to keep a d series to keep the awd..zc = d series, direct swap.

If this is for real then I am now seriously looking for an awd wagon, that would be a fun ride with my ZC in it.

my mom drived a 99 CRV. Its full time AWD, which means that if the 2wd slips, 4wd will kick in. I think its FWD until it kicks in though, cause if you're on ice and you stomp on the gas, the front end will slide(like FWD's) for a sec, then it'll straighten out when the rears kick in. I dont usually stomp on the gas on ice, I just wanted to know what wheels it drove, and it was an empty parking lot anyways.
