The SpeedFactory Racing FWD2AWD B-Series Gear Conversion Kit has been created to provide you with the parts and modifications needed to easily retrofit a stock layout FWD B-Series gear set into your B AWD transmission with NO MACHINE WORK required!

Detailed instructions are included, and we recommend checking out our FWD2AWD YouTube Video for an in-depth install with component explanations.

Why would you want to do this?

  • The B AWD factory ratios were designed for a heavy SUV with a low 6.3k-6.7k rpm rev limit and feature a super short 1st gear which does not work well with high revving high performance applications and creates major shifting difficulties due to the huge ratio spread on the 1/2 shift.

  • The stock B AWD 1/2 shift forks are very thin and weak, often bending even in stock transmissions and are too thin for use with a FWD 1/2 slider.

  • B AWD specific gear set options are very limited and retrofitting other oem gears used to require tedious machine work and custom spacer machining.

This kit now eliminates any need for machine work and opens your ratio options up to use almost any existing B-Series FWD gear set (either synchro or dog engagement that uses a factory style layout) and at the same time fixes the weak 1/2 shift fork issue by replacing it with a new much thicker and stronger billet fork!

 

Included Components/Services:

1. Billet SFR 1/2 Shift Fork Conversion Service (Requires customer-supplied B-Series AWD 1/2 shift fork core to be sent to us) - Our hardened & shot peened billet steel retrofit upgrade is super strong and has the proper fork pad thickness to work with a FWD 1/2 slider.

2. Custom SFR 1st Idler Gear Split Needle Bearing - Previously if you wanted to attempt this conversion you had to machine the ID of the 1st gear larger or machine the countershaft journal height larger. With this custom bearing no machining is necessary!

3. Custom SFR Precision Spacers – Needed to achieve proper component locations

    1. Mainshaft Spacer (replaces the oem flat washer under the mainshaft - retain the flex washer underneath and set endplay to factory specs)
    2. 1/2 Hub Spacer (goes under the 1/2 slider hub)
    3. Reverse Thrust Washer (goes under the reverse idler gear if you are using a short 41.9mm tall FWD 3.0 ratio idler gear. If you have a 45.8mm tall FWD or AWD 3.0 ratio reverse idler gear you do not need to use this washer)
    4. Upper Cuff Shim (For use with Albins B Dog Set only, not used for synchro sets)

NOTE: You will need to use the gears, hubs, sliders, and synchros from the FWD sets and the pinion shaft and ring gear will still need to be an AWD specific set – either OEM or OEM compatible aftermarket final drive set. (Note: The B AWD 2nd synchro & 3rd/4th hub/slider/synchros can also be used.)

After you purchase this kit, please send your stock, unmodified B AWD 1/2 Shift Fork along with your contact information and order # to:

What Do You Recommend for Synchro Sets?

For a super strong and street-able synchro set we recommend using the Albins Helical B Synchro set.

If you simply want the ability to run different ratios and don’t need the strength of a high quality aftermarket gearset, then the factory B16/ITR/GSR type gearsets will now be an option for you. We do not recommend using LS gearsets. Although the 1/2 are the same ratio as GSR, it lacks the dual-cone synchro on 2nd gear and will not work well for a high rpm/fast shifting performance application. LS 3/4 gears are not compatible as they use a smaller 54mm synchronizer.

What About Dog Sets?

For race car use we recommend the Albins 1-4 Helical B Dog set with Upper Cuff that we have used reliably for the last decade on our own record setting race cars.

If you are using an Albins 1-4 Helical B Dog set with Upper Cuff with this conversion  you will also need to have your 5/R shift fork diameter enlarged.

We have not tested any other brands of B FWD dog sets for fitment/compatibility with this conversion kit other than PPG B FWD Dog sets which are NOT compatible as they use a non-oem style layout on the pinion shaft. If your current dog set uses a pinion shaft that has factory style splines then it should be compatible, but we cannot guarantee that.

What About Final Drives?

You can choose to retain the short factory B AWD 4.562 final drive set or upgrade to an aftermarket B AWD specific final drive set that is compatible with OEM. We recommend the Albins B AWD Extreme Duty Final Drive Set.

5th Gear Shift Fork Options:

It is simplest to stick with the factory AWD 0.812 5th gear and its matching synchro hub/slider/rings, and this is by far the most popular 5th gear option.

If you really want to run a FWD 5th gear it is going to take quite a bit of work. Due to the larger diameter 54mm synchronizer ring used on the FWD 5th gears, you will need to enlarge the diameter and thicken the pads on the AWD 5/R shift fork. You will need to run the FWD synchro hub/slider/rings and slightly clearance the inside of the transmission case to clear the larger diameter slider, it will rub the case otherwise and hang up.

If you are using a FWD 1-4 Dog set with an upper cuff it will have a 5/R fork spacer that is FWD diameter and you will need to open up the diameter of the 5/R fork to fit as well.

NOTE: We no longer offer the 5/R fork conversion service due to lack of demand.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Can you send me modified forks and then I’ll send you my cores back?
    No. The forks you send will be modified and then sent back to you. Allow up to 2 weeks for processing.
  1. What about the 3/4 shift fork?
    Your factory AWD 3/4 shift fork is the same thickness and diameter as the FWD sets and does not require any changes.
  1. I noticed that the FWD input shaft is a bit shorter than the AWD input shaft. Does the FWD input shaft not reach the pilot bearing?
    The FWD mainshaft pilot snout still reaches over half way into the pilot bearing which is just fine and doesn’t cause any issues.
  1. What about the clutch spline length, I noticed that those are a bit different between FWD and AWD?
    Although slightly different in length it works just fine with both single and multiplate clutches.
  1. Do you offer core used transmissions, gearsets, or other internal components?
    Sorry, we do not offer used core parts.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
