Will a 4 wheel drive transmission work in a 2 wheel drive?
no, that won’t work. in order to correctly convert a 4WD transmission to a 2WD transmission, the output shaft must be changed to the 2WD version. the 4WD output shaft is the last piece to come out of the transmission, and the 2WD output shaft is the first thing that will go back in the transmission.
Does four wheel drive work in reverse?
Meaning, does 4WD trucks have the functionality built in to reverse while the four-wheel drive is engaged. Here, the simple answer is a resounding, yes, it does.

Can a 2WD transmission be used in a 4WD car?
Some carmakers manufacture their 2WD transmissions in such a way that they can be transformed into 4WD models. A 2WD transmission is drive recognized by its extended tail shaft with the rear-end part including an overdrive unit. The 4WD transmission also has such unit, but it is paired with a transfer case that transfers the power to both axles.
Do you need transfer case for 2WD transmission?
The 2WD gear shifting units have no transfer case. However, some cars are equipped with a dummy transfer case to significantly simplify the process of conversion to 4WD (only a 4WD output shaft will be needed). If you see the transfer case connected to the rear-end of the gearbox, you can say for sure that you are dealing with a 4WD car.
