5 speed D/R identification


Recommended Posts

So I picked up what I know is a 5sp D/R from an EA82.

It was a shed score with all linkages and driveline, so I need to now make sure it's the 3.9 and not the 3.7 that came out of the turbo. (which also has a higher low range)

I think it was also a shed score for the guy I got it from so the knowledge of the original car it came out of is long been forgotten.

 

I've tracked down these numbers. TM65F, TM70F, TW75F, TY75F. (all EA82 5 speed #'s I believe)

Which one is the one I want mine to be?

Not had a chance to pull it out of the back of the Soob yet and clean it up and find it's ID number, but I just want to have the info in hand once the work begins.

 

Searched around the forum and found lots of gear charts, but none had a trans ID# with them.

 

Thanks. :)

If its a 5 speed 3.9 D/R, there will only be the linkage for the 4wd and the rod that goes from the transfer box to the low-range lever, in addition to the gear shifter linkage. On the RX D/R box there is a lever on the passenger side of the transfer box, and usually a vacuum diaphram mounted near the bellhousing with a cable running to the lever. If there is no lever on the side of the transfer box (the rear half of the tranny) then it is most likely a 3.9 D/R. The 3.9's had 1.59:1 or so low range, and the RX trans had 1.19:1 or something like that.

Cool.

Thanks guys. :)

 

I think it's the right one. Has the low range linkage. Which I'm gonna put on it own lever as well. :grin:

No vacuum parts on it.

 

I'll take one of the old front axles I have laying around and slip it on there too just to check. I should have remembered that little piece of easy info. :)

 

Oh yeah and *does the "I've got a 5 speed" dance* :grin:
