T81W dual range 4 spd transmission came in what other models?


Recommended Posts

I am looking for a transmission for my wagon, and just going by year 1982 is a little too old for the used parts places. What other models did that transmission come in? Did Subaru put it something a litlle more recent? Any help would be appriciated.

the info there looks proper for some regions of the world...

 

in the US:

 

81 and 82 GL 4WDs had a shorter 3rd gear which is better if you're lifted, however, that version also used a 200mm clutch.

 

the 83+ 4 speed D/R used a 225mm clutch and larger throwout bearing

 

you can swap the larger clutch and TO bearing onto the older transmission, as long as you get the proper bearing holder...

 

the 83+ 4 speed D/R is found in:

 

83-87 Brat (possibly the '82) as I think theres a question around that)

83-84 wagons. (maybe not all 83's. not sure if it's tied to whether or not it had vented front discs or not)

83-89 Hatchbacks

 

I think there may have been a sedan that got a D/R too... just '84 maybe as an option...???

 

if you are needing parts, your best bet, is an import only parts specialist, or someone on the board... Contact ShawnW @RetroRoo :)
