All Motion 4 Wheel Drive Gearbox Conversion

[gldgti]

i wonder if you could mount it NS and use an audi FWD box???

[Jarred]

Yes, perhaps a transaxle is more what you're after? that way box and engine run North South and drives the rear wheels.

Various cars had them. Most quiet expensive, probably import only. ZF do one I think. GT40 fords had em, I think some alfas and old audi's had them as well. Perhaps an old beetle style gearbox, reverse mounted could be a solution.

Just a pity i cant get the motor back far enough otherwise i just can use the fwd system only! Like i said earlier there is something i can do with the viscous gears to stop front wheel drive from spinning but still have the RWD still operating

Heres another question? wats the possible angle that i can run drive shafts?...is there drive shaft cages that can take sharp angles?...why i ask this question,is because instead of modding the box icould possibily run the front wheel drive and not run the rear wheel drive transfer...

i thought 4 motion was only reactive?

wouldn't constant rear wheel torque overhead the rear diff if it's only meant for part time use?

if you were going to completely modify the set up, wouldn't it be easier to hack into an audi quattro system?

Running consistently hard angles is just asking for trouble - much the same as stupidly lowered cars and their penchant for blowing CVs!!

I reckon VR6 / R32 block will probably bolt up to an Audi Gearbox.

I`d use an A4 non turbo FWD box.

The motor can sit right forward, the gearbox can stick back over the wheels a bit and the driveshafts will fit up.

I dont think the 4mo gbox will like what you are trying to do.

mmm thanks boys...wat if i then leave the front wheel drive free spin and just have the rear wheel drive connection do all the work?... can that work?

4 cylinder boxes dont just bolt up to 6 cylinder engines . The only box with that layout that would work would be one out of a v5 bora .


Now this post confuses me a little , you want to run a 24v vr6 with a box in front wheel drive mode and have it positioned in the back of a beetle ? You can just run the same gearbox , you dont need to hook the tailshaft up . Alternatively you can remove the transfer case and hook up a driveshaft where the transfer case is hooked up . The 25th anniversary Golf 4 gti was like that . The Haldex system isnt constant , but unlike the a4 set up it doesnt need the tailshaft hooked up to be able to drive the wheels

I`m saying he should run the engine longditudinally with an audi box but connected to the rear wheels not the front. Thus he can keep the engine in the middle of the car and not have crazy cv angles.
