SpeedFactory Racing FWD2AWD B-Series Gear Conversion Kit - Part# SF-05-502

Thank you for your purchase. This kit has been created to provide you with the parts and modifications needed to easily
retrofit a stock layout FWD B-Series 1-4 gear set into your B AWD transmission with NO MACHINE WORK required!

You will need to use the mainshaft & 1-4 gears, hubs, sliders, and synchros from the FWD set. Everything from the 5th gear on
up will be the AWD components. The countershaft, ring gear, and differential will still need to be an AWD specific set – either
OEM or OEM compatible aftermarket. (Note: The B AWD 2nd synchro & 3rd/4th hub/slider/synchros can also be used.)

The reverse idler gear will need to be a 3.0 ratio (24T) gear either from a FWD gearset or from a ’98 CRV AWD gearset. ’99-01
CRV AWD reverse gears are 3.461 ratio (29T) and are NOT COMPATIBLE with the FWD gear stacks.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that the installation be performed by a transmission rebuilding specialist.

Component List:

1) Billet SFR FWD2AWD 1/2 Shift Fork - This replaces the original stock AWD 1/2 shift fork.

2) Custom SFR 1st Idler Gear Split Needle Bearing - Install this on your AWD countershaft inside the FWD 1st idler gear.

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

a. 1/2 Hub Spacer – BLUE paint marked


Install this on your AWD countershaft under the 1/2 slider hub being careful to keep it centered and then install
the FWD 1/2 hub & slider. DO NOT use the AWD 1/2 slider as it has a narrower shift fork groove – you must use
the FWD 1/2 slider. You can use the needle bearing/sleeve/friction damper from either the FWD or AWD gear set
inside of the 2nd idler gear. Install the rest of your FWD 2-4 gears as normal and use the AWD 5th
gear/bearings/washer/nut at the top of the countershaft.

b. Mainshaft Spacer – RED paint marked


You will need to use the mainshaft & 1-4 gears, hubs, sliders, and synchros from the FWD set. Everything from the
5th gear on up will be the AWD components. Our spacer places under the OEM flat washer under the mainshaft -
retain the flex washer underneath and set endplay to factory specs which is approximately the midpoint of the flex
washer. Once properly shimmed, the flex washer will sit at 0.036-0.041” (0.91-1.04mm) high (midpoint of its flex
range) and total shaft endplay when measured with the factory tool will be 0.004-0.007” (0.11-0.18mm).

If you are having a hard time finding or making the needed 78mm outer transmission case upper mainshaft shim,
we suggest using 80mm differential shims from a B16 or LS transmission as they are readily available from Honda
in varying thicknesses. You can stack 2 shims to achieve your desired total thickness if necessary and reduce the
OD by 2mm down to the needed 78mm to fit in the housing.

c. Reverse Thrust Washer – ORANGE paint marked


This 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 DO NOT use this washer.

d. Upper Cuff Shim – GREEN paint marked


This is for use with the Albins B Dog Set only, it is not used for Albins or OEM synchro sets. This goes on the pinion
shaft above the cuff bearing and is used in place of the original shim included with the Albins B Dog Set that goes
above the cuff bearing.
