pbilt Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Swapping 85 ea82 carbed 4*4 with a 90 ea82 spfi don't know what model or if it was 4*4 do I need to swap clutch and pressure plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You won't need to swap clutch or pressure plate as they'll be the same. BUT you will need to swap the front drive shafts to the larger 25 spline inner DOJ type that the MPFI and MPFI turbos run. Everything else should drop in as per usual.

pbilt Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) I'm swapping engines not transmitions so the axles shouldn't matter I bolted the engine to the trany but now when I turn the crank in gear it just turns won't try to turn the axles I know I should have changed the clutch while I had it out but I didn't have the cash I left the clutch and pressure plate that was already on the new spfi Edited July 28, 2016 by pbilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbilt Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) No IV never had to adjust a clutch on an engine swap before but this is my first time on a Subaru I usually swap clutch and pressure plate though but these are spendy Edited July 28, 2016 by pbilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want give it look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbilt Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) No idea it's a junk yard engine I know the transmission worked I'll adjust the clutch tonight I just thought the inside diameter of the clutch might be bigger on the spfi then the input shaft on my old transmission pulling these engines is easy but it would still suck to have to do it again who knows the clutch could be toast and that's why it went to the junk yard there is 0 resistance in any gear turning the crank with a bar Edited July 29, 2016 by pbilt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Low/high range lever been knocked out of one or the other gear so it's sitting in neutral? Clutch fork mounted properly? And I'm assuming the engine install was easy mating to the gearbox or did you have to use the bolts as clamps to get the bell housing to meet together (as in they didn't just slip on together once that sweet spot was found)? Cheers Bennie EDIT: If the above doesn't work then it points to the junkyard clutch as the issue. I'd swap it for your clutch pressure plate, disc and flywheel from the old engine as you know it works. Also I'd recommend replacing the rear oil seal as a matter of course. You should know what Murphy is like! Edited July 29, 2016 by el_freddo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbilt Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the help man. It was the clutch pulled it last night and swapped out that what I get for being in a rush and taking the easy way Edited July 29, 2016 by pbilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
