i know this is probably a dumb question but... are rwd and 4wd transmisions different? ive never worked on any trucks or suvs so to be honest i dont think ive ever been under one let alone payed any attention to them

mjr46

depends on what it is on?? but yes because a 4 wheel drive tranny has an adapter for the transfer case to bolt up to

ok thasts what i figured. its a 4r70w out of an explorer that someone i know had collecting dust

I believe you could change the output shaft and put a tailhousing on it and you have a 2 wheel drive transmission.

Milton

if that can be done would i be able to take the parts i need off the current aode to make the 4r70w work?

wagontrain

Yes as long as they are same type.Meaning all the same hard parts.Take to your local trusted transmission shop to be sure.
