i know this is a bit old and i really dont understand what you're trying to do. but arent crv trannies automatic? and no you're right they're not really awd or rwd, it's a 4wd application. and with any 4wd application you're gonna have to deal with locking hubs and often a viscous clutch. yes the clutch's that arent repairable. tell me if im wrong but viscous clutches are equiped with a fluid and when it heats up it shear's, which causes limited slip. err those things are headaches!
