Qman Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 1600 with D/R in anything is rare(read, not factory). It probably is the result of some creative fabrication. I could be wrong but I have never heard of a D/R behind any 1600. Does it have the center or side mount starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratsrus1 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi Ken This is Jerry, Pat's brat is factory. It has the same set up as the 78 he has but 80 has the dual range tranny in it. It is the Ea71 motor has it by the dissy. and the starter is dead center top of bellhouseing. I have another friend that lives in Naches he has 20-30 gen 1 brats and he has 1 with a dual range tranny in it also with the EA71 engine. Thanks Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratty2Austin Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 wow! i may be taking a trip to moxee sooner than I thought! thats cooooool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 hey jerry if that other d/r needs a new home I would like it heck I will barter for it even Edit: in fact it would make my mystery machine even more of a mystery hehe lets see first off the 76 is not even in the records for SOA and second off the motor that is in it is a EA-65 which is the wrong year for the first thing and also a motor that was never offered here in the states so a early gen1 d/r would fit nicely in that equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratsco1 Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hello Well Mick it has single headlights,I will get a picture of the plate for you. Like Jerry said this thing is bone stock. It has some rust but not bad the interior {blue] is perfect cept one spot on drivers seat. sorry to say I think I have traded It off to a future subie dude{ 15 years old ] to his dad for a 1957 four door cadilac hard top. we will see thank you for all your input .........Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richierich Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 In 81 they had the 1800 BRAT engine with the starter on top, and the dual range tranny. Probably the same transmission as the 1981 BRAT. I could see how they could have just put them in a year earlier. I think they take the same clutch assembly as the 1600 but don't quote me on that.

moosens Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Pat,I don't think I have that Gen I Brat window.I know where one is sitting in Maine and the guy is holding it for me.I need another week or so to be able to get a weekend run up there.If you can hang tight the window is yours free and I'll cover shipping.Thanks again for all your help with the '73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 richie the 81's had them to the side trust me I know I have a tranny sitting out in the garage from a 81 and also know of another one in St. Helens somewhere that is the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 1981 the Dual Range was introduced in 3 models, all with 1800 engine 81 Brat GL 81 4WD wagon GL 81 4WD hatchback GL the 1980 Parts Manual only shows 1 trans for the Brat. Pat, see if you can find any numbers on the trans. could be a different import like bajas wagon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richierich Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Baja, you have a tranny out of a BRAT or other 81 vehicle. I parted out a 81 BRAT about 5 years ago, I will have to go look at the tranny but I thought for sure that it was top mount starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 k yeah it's from a 1981 BRAT which is still a gen 1 so it has the teepee and cup for the direct mount shifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
