80' Brat 4sp.transmission


Recommended Posts

Hey there. You mentioned 80 and then 86 so I checked your profile and I’m able to see you’ve got an 86. 
 

Doubtful that you’ll find new parts but without question I would either try west coast dealers or have your local check with the west coast Subaru parts distributors. They can check and a good guy will help you out. 
 

As for manuals you may find some online. A parts catalog is helpful too but I’m not sure those are online. 
 

I do have a parts catalog from the 82-87 Brat era, might be an 85 but the transmission is the same. I’ll see what I can dig up for you. Send me a message if you’re able. Sometimes new members have a waiting period, but I’m not sure these days.

Bin the 4spd and drop an EA82 five speed in. Been done many times! Bin the EA82 engine if it comes with the gearbox… or use it as a boat anchor! 

The EA81 4 spd is a pain in the butt to tear down and rebuilt. A specialist tool is required to remove the nut on the back of the pinion shaft that isn’t easily accessible. Fun fun. It can be done as others did it previously, just not easy. The 5spd conversion is easier in my book.

Cheers 

Bennie
