NWSubie Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So I have been working on my ej swap for a few weeks in my 80 wagon. im trying to see whats the best way to make the new shifter linkages fit. Also do I need to make anything to weld the drive lines center bearing in? Or do I just weld it the body seemes kinda like the body could be pretty thin. Any picks of the linkages or the drive line will be helpful. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I moved your thread over here to the retrofitting forum to get better exposure. The driveshaft: Have your original 1 piece lengthened. The shifters: If you are doing the 5speed dual range conversion contact Bratsrus1 (Jerry), he makes a kit that has the crossmember and shifters all modified to work in your car and look completely factory when you are done. If you are doing the Legacy/Impreza EJ trans you will have to use the factory shifters and lengthen them to reach the tunnel in places if I remember correctly, as well as drill and cut the crossmember brackets from the EJ car to bolt in. Much harder to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
