4x4 to 2WD???

[KWhitener]

I have a 4x4 91 Ford Explorer and the transmissions front seal blew and will not hold transmission fluid and so I am wanting to buy another transmission but except I want to change it to a 2WD since my 4x4 will not work anyways, so I was wondering if there was any possible way to be able to take the 4x4 transmission and transfer case out and put a 2WD transmission onto the drive shaft. Basically speaking, Can I turn a 4x4 into a 2WD buy taking out the transfer case or will i need to use a different drive shaft? Thanks

You can remove it but you would need to get a much longer drive shaft from a 2wd expo as well. Other then that if you just remove the front drive shaft it would probably work just fine.

replace the seal take off the front axle and drive shaft and beam the front. you can get plenty of parts from the junk yard
