I was wondering just how, exactly, someone would disconnect/disassemble an AWD system for the rear wheels of a car, and WHY they'd do that.
I was also wondering just how someone would go about reconnecting/rebuilding something like that, and about how much it would cost.
yes.... that's what the current situation is with my car... and this is with ice and snow on the roads x__X

I have no friggen idea on how to disconnect a AWD system, unless it has a pair of driveshafts and transfer case.
If it has one of the above tell me.

The AWD system on my car can be turned on and off by a switch inside the cabin (and the switch is still there and seems to still be in working order). I do know that the rear half-shafts (I think that's what they are.. the parts that go to the wheels to provide the actual power sweatdrop ) Other than that, I haven't been able to get underneath the car to see for myself, but from what I've heard, it sounds like even the driveshaft might have been disconnected

It would help if you told us what kind of car it is.
It mostly depends on your front dif and if you have solenoids that will freak out if components are missing.
Are you planning to drive it while the awd is disassembled?

That is really strange. I know the WRX guys have that traction bias doo-hickie in their cars that can shift all the driving force to the rear wheels, making it into an FR platform, but I never heard of anyone that tried to make a car into an FF from an AWD platform....
Although since it's from the factory, it may just ba way of saving gas in your car. trucks with 4x4 can change to 2x4 when they're not off-roading to save gas and drivetrain wear, so maybe it's the same as your car (albeit I wouldn't advise off-roading in your car xp )

_Z_Ryukenshoakumaakugouki Dragon Caesar I know the WRX guys have that traction bias doo-hickie in their cars that can shift all the driving force to the rear wheels, making it into an FR platform, Ooooh. I've heard about people that modify the bias to make their cars completely RWD, but I wasn't aware that it was only avaiable in the auto tranny cars... I gotta go do some more homework now sweatdrop
