Re: Don't weld the AWD VCU

You would be better off just swapping between any 18 spline transmission if some of this is confusing. Otherwise you'll end up swapping other guts such as the sun gear and pinion shaft, as stated above. I'll also tell you that it's a little hard to find someone to swap with, i tried for several weeks. Just weld the planetary gears together/to the carrier as bret had said, I did this with the transmission i just put in my car vs. welding the vcu, thought i'd give it a try

Re: Don't weld the AWD VCU

Re: Don't weld the AWD VCU
Just to clearify how bad I am beating the crap out of my car check out the RWD VR4 thread for the newly post NOPI burnout video. I started that burn out in 2nd gear with a 7 K clutch dump.... Deffinatly NOT the first time I have done a 2nd gear 7K clutch dump.

Re: Don't weld the AWD VCU
OK. So hopefully none of you guys are welding up good VCU's anymore
. So given that, does anyone have a good working VCU that they'd want to trade for one that's not plus a little cash?
