EG33 trike project

Hi guys,
Iam building a trike with a EG33 engine.
It came with an auto gearbox (awd i think)
The Question is can I use the FWD part of the box without the RWD connected?
I can get hold of a 2wd ej22 auto box to use but I don't know if it will be strong enough.
What do you think?
Thanks Rusty

The ej22 box was designed to haul around a lot more weight than your trike, so it should be ok. (unless your trike weighs over 1200kgs!)

sounds interesting.. Can you show pics? Is the engine mounted on rear or front?
Cheers

if its like most other 4eat boxes the rear transfer a unbolts and the 2wd cover plate goes on.Or you could just use a fwd box.

Thats mine ( MISTRES )

Powered by a quad cam subaru 2ltr & its auto ( VW type three ) . It made 120 hp on the dyno

you can fit the awd box , but I would fit a FWD box . The AWD box would be easy to sell as most drag guys running auto look for this box & the SVX box for full flow line aplications.

There is a mid mount ej22 trike in Perth Max owns this runs ej22 & the factory auto .

The red one is for sale & I am taking offers over 35K
