converting front wheel drive to rear wheel drive

[richardtan]

Hello SiFus,

I am wondering how much effort would be required to convert a front-engine, front-wheel-drive car to become a rear-wheel-drive, front-engine car?


I suppose the transmission need to turn the rear wheels instead of the front's. Does this mean swapping the wheel mechanism from front to rear will solve the problem?

Also, I suppose there will be some kind of mechanical power loss in the process?

Nice day!

regards
Richard

u need a 4wd gbox & get it lock, 4wd axle, tank, driveshaft etc.....

FWD to RWD is a lot of hassle.. unless u have a car factory like proton, toyota, etc..

i think the best way to do this is to convert that FWD to AWD (all wheel drive).. it's easier..

how to do it? DanzEterna has answered..

Hi SiFus,

to convert to RWD front-engine is more hassle than to convert to 4WD. Wow.

Thanks for the advise.

I think its not such a good idea afterall.

Yup, will consider a 2nd hand rwd instead. 4WD? nah, I think not required for city roads.

Cheers, buddies!
