Subarunner Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I want to put an 86'GL Wagon, NA, 5sp, DR, 4x4 tranny into my 86'GL-10 Turbo, 5sp Wagon. Is this possible? Do the axles and such match up? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 yes it is possible, I do not know if the axles match up (it would not be hard to swap them), but you will also have to swap the rear diff as the turbo's has a 3.7:1 ratio, and the 5-speed D/R tranny has a 3.9:1 ratio BTW - check to see if you have a rear LSD (limited slip differential) they are a nice luxury, and can be converted from a 3.7:1 to 3.9:1 ratio http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Also the turbo transmission has 25 tooth spline on the inner axle joint (DOJ) as opposed to 23 for all the other transmissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just grab a couple of N/A axles and a 3.9 rear diff, your in business. I did this swap on a '86 turbo 5mt (baccarudas car now) and it is a direct bolt in, the harness even plugs in for back up lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarunner Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Awesome! Thanks! I'm gonna do it. If I don't have an LSD, I'll go find one. This stuff will go along nicely with the 3/2 lift, 14 wheels and freshened motor I'm prepping for. I'm trying to build a universal kind of subie. I want a utility vehicle to make weekly trips to San Diego, a Pre-runner styled car for the high desert dirt roads and finally a crawler for the snowy mountain roads and trails. Have Fun!
