M35 To Rwd?

[Sage222]

big bump. now i am thinking about doing this.. anymore feedback on the job? anyone drove around in RWD for extended periods? any concerns?

is the car technically roadworthy if you do this?

i had mine rwd for 3 weeks while doing some work on it. it didnt seem to worry it.

dont know how it would hold up over time. mine gets a work out most days so i rather not try.

I've been in 2wd for a couple of weeks. While I still have good grip(because lsd)the car handles a lot differently and is very open to oversteer easily.

Putting it simply if I want a car that handles I'd keep it 4wd simply because it works better in every way. If I wanted a car for skidz keep it Rwd(only if I had a LSD diff though.

If I was you just pull out the front shaft and drive it for a while....pretty easy job.

so no one has done this for 5000ks or more?

I would have done nearly that many K's, the only drawback was having to clean out the female spline in the transfer case when I re-fitted the shaft.

I don't understand; if you take the driveshaft to the front diff out, what could possibly go wrong?

If the clutch pack isn't engaged; it can't wear.

Doing this frankly puzzles me; it's a bit like buying an MX5 and asking people where to get child restraints installed...

If you want to do it; just go ahead & do it, rather than requesting everyone do the thinking, and take the risk for you.

I pretty sure I've almost done that in the past when I first put the 3.538's in.

I had to, the rear diff was a different ratio for a few months. Puzzle averted.

Skids Yo!
