alright so these are the pics of the jerry rigged 4WD lever

this was last summer but this is a short vid of my brat running and a quick view of the driver side and back

ya tomorrow i can take pics of it and show you guys what im talking about...and would a tranny from those years hoke straight up to an ea81 engine?

oh wow iim an idiot i just figured it out

if i knew how to get pics from my pc to this thread i could show you the crap he did it's rather annoying having to deal with it:banghead:

sorry for the typos

well it doesnt help that the guy i bought it from is a wing nut and put a lever that does the 4WD instead of a shifter so that just makes things more annoying...he put a steel plate over the hole where the shifter would be thinking we weould nvr notice

ya down side to driving a car that doesnt weigh more then a ton get blown around really easy and hydroplane really easy lol ...and im happy it's working too..one less thing to worry about

ya i got my 4WD working right again i found a gravel road drove down it for a couple miles got it into fwd then i had to put it back into 4wd cuz of a really step hill that was really lose gravel so it popped back in 4WD no prob and when i got to the top it went right back into fwd...and i almost got blown off the road cuz of hard it was blowing combined with the heavy rump roast rain

alright i know this is off topic but i found a lego 6 cylinder boxer engine on you tube i thought it was kinda cool

ya i know how u feel i average 45 to 50 5 days a week....i finally got bord and hit the back roads where i live and hit 70 and then i found a gravel road and got some drifting in my brat done...danm body roll scares me though i thought i was gonna roll a couple times:drunk:

well i well try slamming the lever down while in a straight line but idk what it issue is..mean i know all about binding and stuff mean i grwe up in the woods around big trucks and lil cars that had fwd from some other vehicle..but ill try this and hope it's an easy fix seeing how i have very lil money to get a new tranny...and i've been wanting to do the 5 speed swap ever since i got it seeing how at 60 im doing 3 grand

the brat in question is my avatar pic

Okay i have a gl 81 brat with the d/r 4wd and it won't come out of 4wd i've had this issue once before and i was able to dink with the linkage and got it unstuck but even after a couple hours it still won't disengage it drives fine at any sdeed even up to 70 mph but when you take semi sharp corner it binds up and hops a lot and it gets worse the sharper you go. Is the tranny fried (if im not wrong the transfer case is part of the tranny) or is it a simple fix? plz help:(

Okay so i have an ea81 brat with a weber carb..and when ever i let the engine rev to about 3500 to 4000 rpms while im driving then stop shut the engine off it diesels almost every time but when i shift around 2500 to 3000 rpms it rarly diesels....any ideas as to why it's doing that?

i can believe this as theres a very steep hill near where i live it's about a halfa mile long and i take it at 60 in third and about half way up i have to shift to second doing about 5 to 6 thousand rpms the other half of it my engine seems to love revving out

This is a side veiw of my brat while i was waiting for my new axle the old one had a bad cv joint and i didnt have the paitence to replace the cv joint so i just toke the easy way:o

i got a stock 81 brat and ive gone around corners where all four wheels are sliding and this is on pavment in fwd so i think the brat handles just fine..just a lil body roll lol:drunk:

well my 81 brat with same engine says it redlins at about 6 and i dont feel the pwer kick in til about 3000 rpm and the note it gives with the straight pipe i have is music to my ears:burnout:

ME TOOO!!!!

Howa bout a good tranny with four wheel high and low for an 81 brat

I'm in the middle of fixing my 81 brat cuz the guy i bought it from did some damage to it wiring wise and well rats nest look prettier then this

I'm loving the info im getting here once i get some time and some molah i can set to work on this but the tranny may have to come first
