SockRx Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Hey just pick up this it needs a transmission which from what I read the full time locking diff only came in the Rx and the Xt6 so if I wanted the same gear ratio of have to get a trans out of one of them? Or are there others I only payed $250 for it and drove it home diff bearings are making a lot of noise though ???? And this pic doesn't show the body damage on the other side Edited July 1, 2016 by SockRx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The transmission that is in that is unique to the RXs. Full-time 4WD with locking center and low range. The XT6s had full-time 4WD, but were a 3.9 ratio, so you'd have to swap the rear diff. And they don't have low range. The turbo EA82s from '87-'90 had a transmission that's virtually identical to the RX trans, except without the low range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Show more pics. I have a couple different transmissions you could swap in. I have a 3.7 d/r 4wd, 3.7 awd with diff lock, and a rx d/r awd with diff lock. I need to play with the rx transmission some since i just picked it up and it acts like its locking up when you turn the input shaft even in neutral. As in locking up i mean you can't turn the input shaft all the way be cause it hits something solid. I'll steam clean it and let you know.

SockRx Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Okay thank you also not opposed to the xt6 I found a trans so just have to look for the diff? Edited July 1, 2016 by SockRx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SockRx Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 well if that Rx trans you have is locked up I'll take it and make one good out of the two where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe5 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 nice find. was that the one that was on the coast? I got an xt6 parts car that still has the tranny and matching diff in it if your decide to go that route. Although I can't verify their condition I'd sell em for a cheap price that reflects that.

Numbchux Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 So this is wrong? Yep. That same AWD system was used in the EA82ts EA82t and XT6s had completely different gearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SockRx Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) So would this work? Or what rear end would I need? Edited July 4, 2016 by SockRx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SockRx Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) And what will I be losing? Edited July 4, 2016 by SockRx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 And what will I be losing? That one is a 85-86 3.7 dual range 4wd. You loose it being all wheel drive and having a center diff to lock. Same gear ratio so no need to change the rear diff. I have the same one that i would sell for less that has 158 thousand miles on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SockRx Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Okay anyone have a know of a good Rx service manual hopefully a factory one with rebuild specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbosubarubrat Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 So what's up with that Rx trans? and how much for the awd with diff lock? A key way came out of the transmission not sure where it came off though. It started turning all the way over once i put a clutch disk on it and it spit the key way out. I want $150 for the awd with diff lock and $250 for that d/r 4wd. I'll probably keep the rx trans since i have another one and i will eventually probably end up using it to build a custom transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
