Hi - I am just about done installing a used, and hopefully good tranny in my good old '90 wagon. I have a replacement rear diff (also from a '92) to put in since the tranny is a '92, but i wonder if I can drive the car in FWD by inserting the fuse, thereby giving me a little chance to see if the tranny works before i do any more work to the rear diff.
Will this cause any problem?
Thanks!
Bret
FWD fuse and rear diff question

you shouldn't drive it like that, and it can and very well will damage the MPT Clutch (the thing that gives the rear wheels power).

I'm assuming this is an auto correct?
You could drive/test the tranny with the FWD fuse in. I see no harm in that.....

Hey guys - thanks for the feedback/info. Not sure which one to go with, since they seem to be differeing opinions, but the good news is that the new rear diff is in too -- making this an unnecesary question now! Still - I am going to be curious to know the answer in case I am ever in a similar situation. What does the fuse disengage?
If I can ask a somewhat unrelated question - - the tranny i pulled only has a bad front diff. Is a tranny with no front diff a marketable item? Has 139k on it - AWD from the '90 wagon. Also have the good replaced rear diff too.
Thanks again - Bret

A tranny with a blown front diff is good to someone who just want's the case. When you can get a tranny from a junkyard for $75 though, it's not really worth it.
Shipping a tranny is hard work.

Putting the fuse in the FWD fuse holder sends 12 v constant to the duty c solenoid which controls line pressure, power to the rear wheels. When the duty c solenoid gets 12 v constant it closes and there is no or very little power going to the rear wheels. Not enough to cause damage.bretgem wrote:Hey guys - thanks for the feedback/info.
