realtime 4wd

[josephjared22]

Is it advisable to remove the 4wd in my honda crv 1st gen. Sabi kasi ne mekaniko mas titipid daw and mas bibilis?

[renzo_d10]

Remove? Ano yun, babaklasin buong system? Tapos isswap yung 2WD system galing sa ibang CRV? Possible pala yun... Haha.

Yun nga po sabi sa akin, yung propeller daw po ang tatanggalin. Btw, naisip ko din na if ever na tanggalin yung 4wd parang mwwla yung essence ng CR-V may "realtime 4wd" pa naman na sticker na nakapaskil sa likod

Confused nga po ako sir nung una tapos inexplain nya, ganun pala kahirap maghanap ng matinong mekaniko d2 sa pinas

ang alam lang kasi nila na 4wd eh yung pang old school pajero.. hindi nila alam na meron palang real time 4wd.. eh madalas din naman 2wd lang yang crv unless kailangan na ng assistance ng rear wheels..

btw, siguro kung aalisin yung rear drive eh makakabawas sa drag ng vehicle which will lead to lower FC

Yung gusto ko ipaayos is yun pa yung inignore nya at nag focus sya dun sa pagbaklas ng 4wd, tapos nag road test kami sabi nya wag na daw ako dun magpagawa sa shop na pinagtatrabahuhan nya binigay nya number nya sakin at siya na lang daw gagawa kung gusto ko. mas makakatipid daw ako. Ewan ko nagdududa lang ako. parang wala kasi syang loyalty sa pinagtatrabahuhan nya

you bought a car with that "real time awd" for a reason. why remove it because of the recommendation of a "mechanic" who probably can not even read and comprehend english. he might have been wrenching all his life, but that's probably all about it. the awd/4wd systems come in different modes. there are part time 4wd where you only have two differentials-front and rear, there are full time 4wd with three differentials- front, middle and rear- comes with center differential lock, and the real time awd- where the rear diff like yours, engage when there is a noticeable slip of traction in the tires. to make it save fuel by disconnecting one system is synonymous to having one of your kidneys removed to lose a few pounds of your body weight. it is your vehicle, the decision is yours and consult with someone who is thoroughly knowledgeable of what they do not that of some one who have been a grease monkey for years

Nope, the wieght of the propeller lang is negligible. Plus you're safer with the AWD system on.

Better is you sell it and buy a FWD CRV

Real time naman eh so basically your running front wheel 99% of the time. Siguro sa HCP mo nabasa yan, huwag ka maniwala doon mga racer wannabe mga tao doon. As for the fuel saving effect unless madagdagan ng 20km per liter ang matitipid mo eh negligible lang matitipid pag inalis mo

Saka kung gusto mo mabilis benta mo crv mo then bili ka SIR, para mas feeling shumacher...

Nung ni-recommend nga sakin nung mekaniko parang WTH bat naman ttanggalin eh yung concern ko naman is hindi yung mas titipid na gas and mas bibilis. Pinapacheck ko dun sa mekaniko yung parang may jolen na tumutunog sa likod kapag nadadaan sa lubak tapos binuksan nya yung hood then sabi nya "rektang 4wd to ah, gusto mo tanggalin natin yung propeller titipid pa sa gas yan at bibilis"

Haha... baka i-advice: "kabitan mo ng turbo, 5-Zigen muffler at BOV para di mo na marinig yung ingay".

But yes, my first suspect are the wheel bearings as well. Check also your tires as these can also be a source of noise, especially when its near-worn already.

makisawsaw na rin.. been a gen1 m/t owner for almost 2yrs now and i could say my RT4WD is still intact & functional, though as already pointed out by other users na hindi talaga ganun ka solid ang RT4WD ng CRV and I do admit it. one time, i tried to climb up a semi-wet sand dune with grasses.. when both FW lost traction, it just kept on spinning w/o the RW kicking in... then we decided to push it a little bit, giving the left FW traction,, then that's the time the RW kicked in allowing the V to finally climb..

CRV RT4WD (at least Gen1 IMHO) is mechanically engaged if and only if one of the FW slips.. if both FW slips, then the rear differential doesnt engage as per my experience. one perfect example of letting 1 of the FW slip (simulation) is by making a full turn.. check out youtube videos regarding CR-V offroading,, where there's 1 V stuck due to slippage of both FW..

nevertheless, im still a happy CRV gen1 owner..

--"Tok" sound at the rear pag nalulubak??
read this from hondasuv.com forum, but cant find the article anymore.. anyways,, culprit is the hatch glass bumping the tailgate when the V is twisted.. i think thats due to the worn out rubber mouldings.. I let my 10yr old son ride at the trunk and reproduced the problem,, and he confirmed that the sound was coming from there.. until now, i still have that,, and i guess all of us Gen 1 owners..

I had my hub bearings replaced and the rear and front stabilizer bar bushings and replaced the gear oil as said by the mechanic in a local car care shop here in bulacan. Yesterday I left my car in their shop kasi malapit na daw sila mag sara, tinanong ako kung okay lang daw ba sakin. So i left my car and muka naman maayos yun shop nila. kaning 4 pumunta na ko dun para kunin ung sasakyan, excited pa ko kasi alam ko maayos na. Nung pauwi na ko tinesting ko kung naayos na yung "wompwompwompwomp" sound pag pumapalo ng 60km/h HINDI PARIN at yung tumutunog pag lubak na "tok" sa bandang likod, and kapag inaapakan ko yung brake may bagong tunog na "clack clack clack clak" na sound na na napoproduce! so bumalik ako sa shop, sinabi ko na hndi naman naayos yung concern ko. sinabi ko din na kahapon wla naman tunog kapag nag bbrake ako bkt ngaun may "clack clak clak" na sound. Sabi may susungkitin lang daw ayun sinugkit nya. hndi parin nawala. And tinanong ko kung bkt ganun ang sabi sakin meron daw ulit kailangan palitan. so another pera nanaman yun

"Real time 4WD" not advisable to remove. Its for your convenience & safety.
Kung fuel economy, there is no big margin sa consumption.
Tungkol sa noice, better check 4WD system. there are bearings that trigger the 4WD real-time. maybe need calibration/lubrication/replacement!

all responses where done assuming your tires are of the same size, age and condition. another thing to check will be your u-joints for binding and lost lubrication.
