d8usti5n Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Ive been looking at swapping a 5sp dual range tranny into my brat, and Ive noticed that there are trannys in the late 80s wagos wuth dual range, but the shift pattern for the 4wd is opposite from my brat. Are these two different transmissions altogether, or just different 4wd shifter attachments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d8usti5n Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 The tranny on the wagon had a ea82, whereas my brat has a ea81 engine if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonist Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The boxes are different (the 5 speed is longer), but the engagement for the 4wd/low range on the transmission is the same, it's just the levers in the 2 cars have different pivot points.

d8usti5n Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 So would a 5 speed from a ea82 match up with my ea81, or do i need to find an older wagon with a 5speed to steal it out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll bolt right up. I think you use the ea82 flywheel and starter, but someone else should confirm that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ed Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Here is the information that may help you. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/105325-engine-swap-info/ You can use the EA81 large flywheel & pressure plate with the EA82's clutch disk, or use the EA82's flywheel/clutch. However the EA81's flywheel bolts are smaller in diameter than the EA82's bolts. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
