Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

So it's not like the G64/00 which can't be run rwd only?

Therefore, Is it possible to use a G96/31 and run it or convert it as a 2WD ?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I'm contemplating to buy a G96/31 from a C4 and adapt it in my VW vanagon 2wd. Usually the best is to find a G96/01 from a C2 but the only one I can find is from a C4... Therefore, Is it possible to use a G96/31 and run it or convert it as a 2WD ? Can't find info specific for that very transmission! Thanks in advance!

POST 2Original post

You can always run it with the front shaft flange still there

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So it's not like the G64/00 which can't be run rwd only? That's very good news!

POST 4Original post

I have an '07 C2 transmission sitting on my garage floor - bought a whole wreck for the engine for my dead '02 C4. It's a tiptronic Mercedes. PM me if you want more details.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the offer colmfmurphy, I found a C4 for around 1100$ USD. I'm just not going to use the 4wd output flange. It appears not to be a problem. I prefer manual. Moreover, I'm not a fan of ZF boxes.

POST 6Original post

Yes, it is not uncommon to run C4/TT as rwd only.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Moburky. I'll then go forward and buy the transaxle.
