Jes1991 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hey all! So I have a 91 loyale with push button 4WD. And I just purchased an 85 GL with a dual range transmission. I've looked up how to do the swap and it seems "simple" enough. My question is this: what components should I replace while doing the swap while I have everything apart? Nothing is really "wrong", but any ideas on preventative maintenance would be appreciated. I can't shift into first unless I'm at a dead stop, I don't know if that's normal, but I don't remember it being a problem with my 89 loyale. Both vehicles have 170000 miles on them and I don't think anything has been touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 New clutch. Reseal the transmission while you have it out. GD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) clutch job, rear output shaft seal though they rarely leak. there's not much access to anything else when doing a trans swap. resealing the engine oil pan would be a little easier and already close to having complete access as you tilt and support the engine. and you probably don't need a part as the cork gaskets suck, can probably just right stuff it or RTV it properly.
