Does all wheel drive work the same as four wheel drive?
All wheel drive is all wheel drive, all the time. Four wheel drive is engaged or disengaged by the driver.
Is four-wheel-drive the same as all-wheel-drive?
Yes, assuming the car has four wheels, four-wheel-drive is the same thing as all-wheel-drive. Not always, four wheel drive provides a positive lock between the front and rear axles. All wheel drive has a differential between them most of the time.
Can you convert an all wheel drive to a two wheel drive?
No. A "all wheel drive" is all the time four wheel drive. A 4x4 or 4-wheel drive can be set to drive in two wheel drive or four wheel drive.
How do you put a 97 discovery into 4 wheel drive?
It is in 4 Wheel drive all the time
What is the difference between four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive?
The basic concept is that 4x4 runs 4 wheels when you need it. All wheel drive runs them all the time regardless. The difference is, with 4x4 you get the option of high and low gears in 4x4, and not the same way with all wheel drive. "All Wheel Drive" vehicles do not run all 4 wheels at the same time. In low traction situations, the power is transferred from back wheels to front wheels where the engine weight is, when wheel spillage is detected. But "AWD" never delivers power to all 4 wheels at the same time. 4WD vehicles can power all 4 wheels at the same time, assuming that both ends are equipped with limited-slip diffs., or at least to three wheels (both rear & 1 front) if equipped with a rear diff locker only.

Are you talking about "Drifting" ? purposely powering through turns, Or is your intention to skid to a stop? - Either will work, but you can Drift with a front wheel drive car while applying power to the drive wheels, and engaging the parking brake at the same time.

What does a cv axle do?
A cv axle transmits power to a drive wheel while being able to flex (bend) at the same time. These axles have a cv joint on each end and are common in front wheel drive vehicles.
Do stick shift cars have 4 wheel drive at the same time?
True 4 wheel drive has a dedicated low range gear. There are stick shift cars with full time all wheel drive that apply power to all 4 wheels all the time, just like a 4 wheel drive; however, they do not have the dedicated low range gear found on off road 4 wheel drive vehicles and are therefore less capable under those conditions. The average road driver though would not notice a performance difference between the two. The subaru impreza and subaru legacy are cars that have a stick shift and full time all wheel drive. No doubt there are others.
Can you put your 2000 Subaru Outback into front wheel drive?
