you can read the write up I did on my Hatch: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=98829&page=7

not going to work.

you're welcome.

I had the same problem in my hatch forever ago. Take the 4wd lever stuff off, then crawl under the car and rotate the shaft coming out of the transmission 180 degrees then put everything back together. It sounds like the exact same thing and I'm pretty sure this will fix you problem.

Anymore progress on the beast?

the progress is that i sold it to a friend of mine that lives down the street from me and i'm helping him fix it up. the thing runs awesome with the fresh motor i put in it. i had 7 cars and needed to part with a couple of them otherwise i wouldn't have sold it.

I think you are correct. I couldn't remember.

the 5 speed is actually shorter then the 4 speed. I think you'll have to have a custom drive line built. If I'm not mistaken the BRAT and Hatch have to have a custom drive line & the wagon can use the 5 speed drive line (if you weld the carrier bearing in place). Here's the one I had made for my Hatch:

Yes, I just got one last weekend.

I can show you when we swap parts. It's not that hard, but you do end up with a bit of a camber problem with the spring lift. Here's a photo of mine with a 4in lift.

Mine has a pitch stopper on it and I've never had an issue:grin:

We both know that wasn't drool matt.

thanks

1981 BRAT 1984 Hatch Still lots more to come on this one.

Go DUCKS!

I think he's got a set of B&R reproduction brat stripes on there.

No way, All motor baby! I tell ya going to 4.11 gears made a huge difference as well. It really brought the ej22 alive. I can't wait to feel how it goes with the frankenmotor in it. I'm going to do a bit of head work on mine as well. Port, polish & maybe bigger valves too. I'm hoping to get 200 at the wheels.

You need to do an AWD setup in your brat. I've got a phase 1 ej25 sitting at my house waiting for the same setup as yours. I'm going to be putting it in my AWD hatch next summer.

Thanks for that complement. The wheels went on this 1981 brat that I restored and sold: Here's some video of a walk around: I hope to do another one someday and keep it.
