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

alright thanks ill look into this when i get some time and a lil help from my step dad:D

I have an 81 brat and the engine is starting to get a ticking sound is that a bad thing..im only 16 and im still learning my skills as a mechanic so plz help here

not trying to be an rump roast or anything but the first gen brat was made from 78 to 81 then they switched to the second gen brat

Did they ever make a turbo for the EA81 engine and if they did how hard would it be to put it on a non turbo engine...

so that means my 81 brat would have to get tested to see if itll pass..crap the cat converter is shot in it among many other things that would make it run clean...

Dude im proud owner of an 81 brat and seeing that engine in something like that trike is awesome job well done my friend i hope that thing is fun as hell to ride.
