stephen115 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I have a 1982 brat 4wd and I want to put a 2.2l ej22 in it and was wondering what 5-speed transmission I need to use with the ej22? If I can I would like to keep the 4wd but if it's too much trouble then I can settle for no 4wd. SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Search - it's been covered weekly for years. Search for "EA81 5 speed swap" or "EA81 five speed swap". GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 You might contact bratsarus1; he sells a conversion kit to install the 5 speed d/r transmission in your Brat. I did that with his help/kit to our '84 Brat many years ago. I'm not sure whether it will support the power of an EJ22 motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Any of the 5spd 4wd trans will fit the same with the same bellhousing conversion kits. Beware of turbo trans since they have a 25 spline axle, which does not fit for the brat. It is possible to swap out 23 spline axle stubs in a turbo(dual range rx) trans to be compatible with the brat axles. By this route, i would recommend the xt6 trans for regular street driving, having gearing more suited to the ej22 135 hp since the xt6 has 145 hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
