Calling All Dual Range Owners


Recommended Posts

I got my hands on a factory parts catalog and it's lead me down a confusing rabbit hole.

I have an '89 GL, SPFI with the dual range transmission. It has the front CV axles with the ribbed inner joint and the two identification bands on the axle shaft near the outer joint. ID #87AC. 

The service manual says these axles are for the CARBED engine, not the fuel injected.

 

If the reader of this post has an SPFI with the dual range, what axles do you have? Because I'm starting to think I may have the wrong axles (?)

The parts manual is a joy to decipher on its own but the best I can tell the 87AC axles are not for the SPFI with dual range (I'm thinking the correct axles are the 95AC-23). Or does the SPFI fall under the "Carbureted" category since it's basically the e-cig version of the carburetor?

 

Thanks :]

From my 1985 factory parts catalog which has the dual range:

station wagon with dual range non turbo would use p/n 23221 GA232 the best I can tell.

and the part name indicates 7AC   
 

I can’t post pics right now and I’m a little worn out from the day. It’s a little confusing with the other axles so I’d better rest and look at it again another time. 
It seems there are a couple models that have a turbo but get 23 spline axles, which is weird. The 25 spline axles are the predominant turbo axle for sure. Maybe the 23 for automatics or something I’m not seeing.

Since this information is difficult to track down - I have a "Identification number" to part number match that I'm quite positive is correct.

ID# 95AC-23 is part number SOA925H300R1
