inperfectdarkness said: there's plenty of reasons people can drum up to do the ATX>MTX switch. my sentiment is with the age of these cars--you're better off just buying an MTX (especially a tt/vr4) to begin with. save yourself the time & $$$ of doing the conversion without losing time & $$$ already invested into years of ownership.



if you ARE deadset on doing the swap--then an AWD MTX modified to run FWD is the only way to go. Click to expand...

I will respectfully disagree with you.I will happily go awd someday, however today is not that dayI did have my transmission rebuilt, not just buy a used one.The auto I had in this car NEVER felt right, nor has it felt right in any other auto car I've driven. I am not saying yours doesn't, but I will say that in my experience, I have had bad luck with them.The MTX for na's is not the most ideal in my situation, I will likely pop the diff pretty quicky, other than that however, there doesn't appear to be too many weakpoints with them.If I break this trans (which i got an excellent deal on), I will buy a different MTX be it AWD or FWD and go with it again, this is the most cost effective solution in MY point in my life as we speak.I will try to be careful with it, but im going to still beat on it some, hell I am turboed. If it breaks, it breaks.The ATXs have their ups, I enjoyed not having to shift by myself, I enjoyed the power with the atx while it lasted with the TT, I however didn't enjoy its delayed shifts.Just saying that in my case I am done with the auto's, maybe I just got unlucky but thats the way its gotta be for me the way I see it.
