Thanks guys glad it’s not a hard to find part

Thank you.

Hey guys, had to replace a section of bad brake line on my 83gl and while trying to bleed the brakes the bleeder valve snapped it’s on a rear drum any idea on what will work for a replacement ? I’m going to try to get the rest out without damaging anything but if I do what are my options? Replace the hub? Any help is appreciated

205-60r15 just a bit of rubbing at 3/4 lock but I have adaptors that are pretty thick

Thanks, comparing pictures now I'll probably try the rock auto rebuild service but it's good to have options

I saw the rebuild service just didn't know if that was my only option. Thanks again guys.

Not having much luck searching for one mine is leaking pretty severely. do any other years swap with a 83? Or is there a rebuild kit? Or should I delete it and put a manual rack in?

I figured it out, I was missing the bracket so I made one works great and shifter isn't so floppy. It's item 21 this isn't my exact shifter but I looked through a few of these and it seemed they are fairly common.

I can't express the amount of gratitude I have to all of you for taking the time to help me get this done. First test drive was tonight, no issues noticed. Couldn't have done it without all of your help. Reverse and 4x4 light ate wired up and I'm just waiting on the console and a few small things to be finished. I had to customize the trans mounts for some reason but other than that it was a pretty smooth experience. BTW Where does the spring on the shift linkage go?

I found a 3.9 and a console with all linkage, thanks for all the PM's and help from everyone. My last hurdle will be getting the swap done.

Okay guys, I was able to find a single range trans from a 85 for a pretty good price they had a dual but what ever wreck it came from left scars all over it and a broken axle stub that scared me away. So I'll swap to the single range for now and go to dual later if I feel the need. I need shifter and linkage along with the center console, at this point color doesn't matter. also looking for a rear diff in a 3.9 23 spline if anyone has these our can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I don't plan on bashing it our anything that could be considered hard core 4 wheeling it will get trips up to ski resorts and a weekend driver mostly. And one cross country trip. Are there problems with the single range transmissions or is the dual range just a better fit.

Thanks for all the help guys, now I've just got to find a transmission and a console bratman has everything else and is pretty close to me. There is a single range from a 88 turbo pretty close but I don't know what's involved in changing splines our if it would take new CV, I just replaced the fronts so that would seem a waste. I really do appreciate all the help I just get a bit confused going through everyone's posts, I guess I should take notes.

Quick question guys, will I need different CV axles? Depending on transmission I think the ea81t has 23 spline please correct me or point me in right the direction so I can read myself

Interested in center console armrest and shift shroud not the radio bit.

Thanks, searching now Ninja edit, great write up that will help for sure, So after reading that and others I need the fly wheel and clutch from a ea82 and I need to make our have spacers made for the bolts Anyone have a lead on a center console? Or a complete 5speed DR ?

Could you link this for me do i can be sure I'm looking at the same thing

I've been searching a bit, I guess I'm just confused because there are so many combinations that will work. I know I need to match gear ratios and that I need a drive line also what flywheel to use on what, you will need to forgive a bit of my ignorance I just don't want to think I have everything together and have to search for a unicorn of a part. I appreciate the help and I'm still searching and reading everything you guys are mentioning.

Sounds good to me, shoot me a PM and we can figure out price, when and where to meet up thanks for the help everyone.

I've searched and I am starting to get a idea of what I need to swap the trans out on my 83 turbo wagon flywheel and clutch shift linkage for a 4wd center console driveshaft crossmember modification clutch cable pedal assembly speedo cable for a manual What year donor car should I be looking for? Another ea81? I'm not afraid of some welding and fabrication but I'd like it to go as smoothly as possible. Would anyone be willing to put everything I need on a pallet and ship it to me? Or would that make it too easy. it's a pretty good car with only 86000 miles on it and some pretty rusty rocker panels. it's taken allot of nights and weekends to get it running right and not leaving puddles wherever it's parked. I appreciate any advise or opinions and if anyone is in western Virginia and wants to help let me know!

Need the fuel door to 24375 let me know, thanks
