Hi GD, That's good to know they're out there, but how many are "really good"? No crunched syncros, solid bearings, seals...that sort of thing. A lot of what's out there has been run through the mill. High mileage stuff. Pretty soon you mix new parts with about three transmissions to get a good one or something. Been there, done that with Muncie 4 speeds. To fix one of these with abuse/high mileage would take some new syncros, bearings, seals...whatever. Thanks, have all I need for now, but you neverknow. Doug

Hey, " Well, that sucks. Sounds like I'm back to adapting to an EA series transmission." Yea but, there's only so many of those. How many left that are "really good" transmissions? Well, I've got 2 that are, but I hardly ever see another around here these days. Doug

Hey, Here's four. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-NEW-WINTERHANDLER-ICE-SNOW-185-80-13-TIRES-82368_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4ceaf12418QQitemZ330359186456QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Looks like they're probably NOS. Doug

Took a picture:)

Here's what the 1.2 Justy looks like. Doug

http://www.ordi-service.net/justy300/Justy300hp.wmv Hot off the press:)

Hey Nipper, " my area, British Columbia Canada" he wrote, and it sounds like he's talking about the same Justy I'm talking about. The oil pump fix new is about $400.00. Genuine Subaru. That's the problem, the cost of parts. Or have a local machinist install a bushing in the original cover and use a new oil pump and shaft. If he finds one in running good condition, that's the best. I have one of those. I have another I'm going to have bushed, and it will probably last a 100K miles. Yea, the only problem with Justy is the cost, IMHO. Doug

YotaRu

Toyotaru or Subayota.

Hey, Just some thoughts. It's said the EA-63 and Justy share a clutch. The flywheel bolt holes for the DR trans are wider than the Justy crank bolt holes. It looks to me like a person could egg the flywheel bolt holes out [in actually] and it would bolt on. Adaptor plate, use the front driveshaft from the DR, modify to fit. The MPFI 9 valve is 73 cid. 73 hp, 71 ft. lbs torque. It shares a fuel pump and injecters with the early imprezza and forester. ... Doug

"Does anyone make a good and strong electric impact wrench for those of us without an air compressor?" Something like this would serve you well I believe. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/kobalt-1-2-120v-420ft-lb-impact-wrench-used-once_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em20Q2el1116QQhashZitem4398d2b8f3QQitemZ290326755571QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools

Some thoughts from experience. It doesn't lug because it's programmed to go around peak torque nearly instant, so it's able to pull the lower drive gears. Ds, that's DriveSport mode with the ECVT in the Justy is programmed to rev at 3000 rpm nearly instant with a press of the gas. That puts it in peak power/torque range. It's the next best thing to a dual range tranny if you haven't got one of those, IMHO. Oh, Subaru doesn't recommend changing the fluid in the new CVT "unless" under severe driving conditions, something like that:eek: Not sure if I made any sense at all:) Doug

Hey, " Plastic, intakes ," Yea, I saw that. People will be replacing their intakes on Subaru's for the first time. Say it ain't so, but it is. The reason they did it was something like:"The plastic intake saves weight and the car gets better fuel mileage and be faster with the reduced weight, over aluminum". I kid you not, thet's what I read, something like that. It "IS" cheaper to produce. Doug

Hi, "Any one have any good solutions? After market parts? IDK. I just want it to look good. Thanks!" A new girl friend. Doug

Hey, You get two OEM NOS EA-82 T engines? Or are they rebillds? Doug

Is it legal?

Hey, "I chicken out before the engine does. :grin:" Well as long as it runs clean, I've never hurt one. I'm thinking the upper limit is the point where the valve springs lay down. I'm not positive tho. All EA-82's I've had would do 7 to 7250 before you hear why you need to back off. Low range on mud, full throttle power shifts to 7250 are fun:) Especially with a light car. The gear changes come very quick tho. Doug

Hi, "but it looks to me that it would be the same passage that feeds the exhaust lifters and yet they stay pumped up just fine..." Well, don't assume that. Look in a service manual for the oil flow chart. That will tell you what gets oil first, so on and so forth. It's probably a priority mains engine...main bearings first to get oil. It does sound like an oil pressure problem. Doug

I looked and didn't see this posted yet. 2.0 Turbo with CVT. http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2009/09/30/479618.html Doug

Hi, " want to know if there is anything to keep a particular eye on." The doors, hatch. I try to spray/fog the lower fourth or so with WD-40. Water Displacement is good. Doug

"the ones near you are twice as expensive as the ones in PA, NY, VA, NH, etc. it may be cheaper to have it shipped in." Or pick one up on your trip? What I see here in the rust belt is that they go to the crusher. I mean, If a yard has a couple of open diffs in stock, and they're not selling that many, snag the low mileage ones and let the rest go. Mabie a board member can supply and install one for you? Doug Edit: One listed in my neck of the woods is $200.00. You will pay less buying from an individual. A 1K dollar Toyota engine at the wrecker here, from an individual was $200.00, a recent purchase. For about the same quality and mileage too.

Hi, Gary offered:"i have a known good 4.11 rear diff I can mail you for $75 plus shipping." I can't imagined that whole diff costing much from a junk yard either. Combine that with install at an independant shop, like the guy you initially took it to. Well it may run you more than $150.00. Whatever the cost, $250.00?, it's not that expensive. There's very few bolts holding that whole rear in the car and I doubt it would take more than an hour to install on his lift. I wouldn't rebuild yours at all. It's not worth it, they're in lots of yards and relatively inexpensive. They rarely fail, that's why. Was not my intention to insult you, just making a point. You will be rolling the dice with it on a 2K trip. Doug

Hey, I didn't see that thread. Funny comment with the cat:) My dog went a little nuts every time I played it. lol Doug
