NV Zeno Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Just making sure here (after a failed extensive search), The 4th gear ratio is taller on the 83/84 models than the 80-82's, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLCraig Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 for ea81 d/r and s/r 4wd 83-84 has a higher ratio for both 3rd and 4th then 81-82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yep - 81/82 is what you want for off-road and big tires.... 83 and UP (to 89 here in the states) are all taller in 3rd and 4th GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendodave Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hi NV, the graphic i saw had a breakdown of all the subaru transmissions, the 80-82 ones had the same first and second ratios, third was 25% lower, and 4th was 15% lower than the 82-84 transmissions. I thought the taller gears would be good to have on the Phoenix trip, but I was wrong. So, my spare trans will be going in, unless I can find a DR 5speed soon. sure would not have helped on the drive over the Sierras, I only got to second once between Boomtown and Truckee...crawling along in first will try to find that file for you...

GeneralDisorder Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 The shorter gears make it more fun to drive - better acceleration in a stock roo. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
