wirelessenabled Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) I got a dual range JDM transmission to put in my 2000 OBW. I didn't get the shifter linkage for it and do not have time to cobble something together right now. I want to lock the transmission in high range. Anybody have an idea which way to put the dual range shifter lever for high range. My idea is just to put it in high range and tie wire it to keep it there. Or any one have a low mileage 4.111 final drive 5 speed they want to trade for this? The transmission I have is a TY755XS2AA out of a MY01 Forester. I am in Spokane, WA.

Crazyeights Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I have a 5MT with a 4.111 final from a 2001 Legacy GT. I also have the matching (V)LSD rear differential from the same car. I am in the Edmonds - Lynnwood Wa area. Let me know if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirelessenabled Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Pics of the transmission. The heavy black wire is holding the transmission to the pallet for shipping.

wirelessenabled Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I figured out the hi range / lo range. Counted turns on the input shaft to turns on the front drive stubs. Hi range is with the dual range lever in the aft position. Lo range the lever is forward. If I am figuring it correctly it also seems that the gear change is 1.44:1 when in lo range. Everything I read seemed to indicate that the ratio was 1.19:1. Here is how I checked. Put the transmission in gear. 1st I think. Turned the input shaft with the old clutch disk. In hi range I counted 14.25 rotations of the clutch disk to 1 rotation of the front drive stub. In lo range it was 20.5 to 1 rotation. 20.5/14.25=1.44 or so.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 ... Everything I read seemed to indicate that the ratio was 1.19:1 ... That 1.19:1 relation belongs to the impreza Dual Range transmission, I have seen some of those here, in Honduras. The LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) got same Dual Range EJ Transmissions also, like JDM, EUDM, etc ... as you can see lots of photos and read info, ~► Here. Do you want more LADM (Latin American Domestic Market) Specs Subaru Pictures? Dual Range Subaru Impreza: Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I've left them in high and run it without and linkage before without any issues. Just remove the bracket and what's left of the cable from the transmission and hold onto it for later. Edited May 12, 2015 by Caboobaroo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirelessenabled Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I installed the dual range transmission today in my 2000 OBW. Fit in fine with no problems. I ended up just leaving the dual range linkage, or what was left of it, bolted on the tranny. It made a convenient place to zip tie the lever in high range. Now just need to find the time to make a shifter for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
