GeneralDisorder Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The speedo drive gear/shaft/seal is not serviceable from outside the transmission. You would have to remove the tranny and dissasemble it. Not worth doing with a 4 speed. Just replace it with a 5 speed. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbrat84 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 does the 5 speed have the dual range 4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSubie Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yes they do, check out the Ultimate Subaru Repair Manual found on the main page of the web site. Here is the link to do the swap. http://www.indysworld.com/80s/general/USRM/mick-usrm/transmission/5speed.html This link is from the old USRM also found on the main page. You can hunt around the forum also many have done the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 does the 5 speed have the dual range 4x4 Yes, '85 to '88 GL models (maybe others since I'm not the expert of that) often came with a 5MT dual range transmission. I felt that the '88 version was the best since it might have the least miles on it. Check out bratsrus1; he makes an upgrade kit and did my swap on our '84.
