the GT4 box will bolt on to any S engine. The 205 & caldina versions have some different bolt holes down around the bottom, compared with 185 type box

the centre diff may be an issue with no load on the front wheels. i'll have to think about the ramifications

the viscous coupling limits the rear diff torque and its not designed to handle full engine power.

see www.roadandtrack.net.au. there is an article on E code gearboxes

Lancers have something similar when converting to rwd

Converting to rear drive is straightforward, if not simple. The transfer case is cracked open and the LSD output assembly is replaced with a new one that RMR fabricates out of billet steel that omits the splines to drive the front wheels. Caps cover up the now useless output holes in the transfer case and a dual-plate clutch replaces the stock unit. The front axle stub ends are retained to act as bolts for holding together the hub assemblies. RMR is now selling a kit to convert any EVO to rear-drive-for whatever reason. And converting back to all-wheel drive should be simple too. You could even buy two kits and convert your EVO to no-wheel drive.
