Is it possible to install a standard transaxle in place of the Syncro
transaxle, as a temporary fix to get it back on the road?  I am seeing a
number of Syncros with bad transaxles being sold, and was wondering if a
standard transaxle could be put in.  I realize that there would be no AWD
capability, but will it bolt in (with the forward drive shaft removed)?
Would the stock 5-speed linkage work with the 4-speed transaxle (with no
granny gear to go into, of course)?

Yeah, I'm dreaming a little bit here.  Just wondering if it is
possible/practical as a short term solution until money appears!
