    laser tx3 awd gear box swap

    Hi all i am looking at doing a gear box swap. Blew my g5 up again last week at the track spent too much$$$.

    I have read that you can use a gt4 gear box and ancillaries?
    would love to buy a plate if any one has one.

    Welcome to the forum. I received & replied to your PM - happy to supply you with a plate!

    I've never personally done the conversion on an AWD car, only FWD, but the plates are designed with AWD in mind and have been used successfully before.

    Take a look at this thread:


    The GT4 transmission is literally a fwd gearbox with a rear transfer bolted on. So many of the things i cover in there, you will also need to do... plus all of the AWD related bits. For example - your oil pan will need modifications to clear the rear transfer, you'll have to mount the toyota rear diff in your subframe, mount the toyota driveshaft bearing, etc.

    Unfortunately i don't think anyone has written a comprehensive guide to doing this conversion on an AWD car. Someday i plan to convert my car to AWD, but that's a few years away at best!
