Loyale 4 Speed automatic questions
Turbone replied to DaveT's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The XT6 AT is 4EAT. The swap would be pretty major, besides the TCU you would probably need to swap the tranny x-member and driveline. -
The pedal box can be a PIA, you have to be patient for that one. Its easier if you drop the steering colom. Balancing the driveshaft isnt usually necessary. The whole job is pretty labor intensive tho.

No, that was my "point" to begin with -
I agree. I wouldnt waste the money on a kit, just go find another tranny. Even a 4spd D/R is better than the AT

Uh, more rice :cool: -
If its going to stay a AT, it will be easier to do. If your going to a MT you will need to swap out the tranny x-member, driveline and I think a few other parts. The pedal box needs to be put in for the MT and clutch cable too. The lock switch is sometimes a bear to deal with, it needs to be put in N and just tucked away (the no frill fix). The hardest part is installing the rear running gear, just because its cumbersome. If you take your time and get some help, its not to bad. Good luck and keep us updated.

Well, Miles Fox comes to mind on this topic

Is the light a "Oil" light or a "Engine" light?

I thought there was? Years ago I saw a clip of you going in the river, maybe it was over at EZboard. Wish I still had it :-\ Btw, last weekend at the Rieter Pit Trail cleanup I went thru a pretty good sized mud puddle. It was about 35ft across and I had no idea how deep it was. But heck, it was just a mud puddle, right? 3/4 of the way thru the front left dropped 2ft into a good sized hole. Seeing how the water was up to the bottom of my rockers, a good 21in off the ground, that put the water close to the sill of my window. Which just so happened to be open Not only did the Hatch get muddy, so did I. But when it dropped into the hole I dropped the hammer and spun the tires till I pulled out of the hole. I think I impressed a Jeep driver that was walking around picking up trash, he gave me a thumbs up

noob question about boxer sound
Turbone replied to nkx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Your going to have to prove that one. -
Are we talking about engine lifters or a body lift

noob question about boxer sound
Turbone replied to nkx's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
The sound is most likely due to the shape and size of the exhaust ports. -
It really dpends on how your lift is made. Mine has the rear diff on a hanger, so my axles are almost level. And thats with 8in of lift. I have a small floor jack I keep with me, but I discovered that I still needed to lift the other tire. And it was still not enough! I need to carry a block of wood so I can get the tire off the ground enough to turn, this is needed to get the pin in the cup and line up the splines.

The easiest way to get to the controls is to remove the radio again. You might be able to see the hose(s) that came off. To remove the control panel itself, theres 2 screws behind the top and bottom pushbuttons(these can be removed with a small screwdriver). The panel is a real expletive deletive. It has the cable for the temp control attached to it and if pulled to hard, it will mess up the settings down below. The actual vac can (I think) is located in the passenger side firewall, a small plastic round unit. -
Well, I actually made it there. Pulled into the parking area and saw nothing but Yotas and Jeeps But I tell you what, I was the star of the show for a little bit Everyone was asking questions and checking out the Hatch, people taking pics. It was giddy, lol. Zap wasnt around and I saw Subyluvr(?) Hatch, so I knew there was someone around. Did a little cruising on the main drag and went thru one deep puddle (forgot the camera) and got my left arm wet and muddy (window down, doh) and then went back to the parking area to wait for Zap. Still no show, so I went and hit some trails. Lots of mud and puddles galore. Had no problems at all, the Hatch went thru it all and did some real tight manuvering (luv the PS). Went back to the parking area again and Zap showed up in his Yota. I hate to say it buddy, but your truck blended in with alot of the others there. Dont get me wrong, its a real nice truck and will probably go places mine wont. But theres no "Wow, cool, thats different" factor. Dont hate me man Jaws Dawg, sorry I missed you. Are you wondering why you still have those Yota parts in your car?

This sounds like the time I might be heading out(If I can go). Give me a ring tonight.

My apologies then. But if it was asked in public, it needs to be answered the same. Enquiring minds want to know

Anything from the coupe should work. But if you get a power regulator, make sure you get the PW control box. I think its under the drivers seat.
