Can a 4WD ECVT be used in place of a 2WD ECVT? Is it just a matter of not hooking up the rear drive of the 4WD ECVT? Thanks

Can a 4WD ECVT be used in place of a 2WD ECVT? Is it just a matter of not hooking up the rear drive of the 4WD ECVT? Thanks It should bolt right up. I think the mounts will be different but I believe their should be a spot for the 4wd trans mount. Not sure if the electrical plugs will be the same as the 4wd has the additional 4wd solenoid and switch for the dash light. You should be able to change out the necessary wires to make it work if needed. The bigger issue is plugging the rear drive shaft hole in the trans. You could plug it with a drive shaft stub and wire it in place. Just make sure it's in 2wd mode before driving it. I'm guessing you're thinking about doing this because of a bad tranny? What actually went wrong with it?

I was just musing options. I already own a '93 DL. I drive it nearly everyday. It's in great shape. I recently purchased a '89 GL ECVT Justy. It was so close to me, I couldn't resist. Justy's are extremely rare down here in Mississippi. I figured, if nothing else it would be great for parts. Bodywise, it's in good condition. The guy I bought it from said that it was running good when it was parked. The odometer has 53,000 miles on it. He parked it because the transmission quit working. He took the transmission out to have it worked on. The guy he took it to probably didn't have a clue. He said the guy kept the transmission for several months. Then the guy got arrested for whatever reason, end result: transmission gone! I wish he would have left the transmission in the car. After reading the posts here (I think yours!), it might have been something easy to repair, such as the brushes that wear down. I was just seeing what options I might have to make the Justy driveable again.

Yeah, that's too bad it didn't come with the original transmission still in it. You'd be amazed by how many of these can be fixed with simple low cost repairs. I've worked on quite few myself and only two needed to be completely disassembled. Even those weren't bad to do compared to other transmissions I've worked on. Not too many parts in them!
