acro_sun Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hi, I'd love to covert my 1993 loyale to a low range five speed tranny. I found a dual range at the junkyard but I'm a bit nervous about buying it without knowing how it works. Is there any way to test it without a running motor..? I ran it through the gears ect. It shifts fine but feels slightly sloppy when it's in neutral. Are there rebuild kits for these trannies and is this something a layman could tackle? Any general tips on this coversion would also be appreciated. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik litchy Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 the most id do is change all the seals. have you rebuilt transmissions before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 sloppy feel in neutral could be just the shifter bushings, most often your tranny is okay if you can run it thru the gears with little to no effort. just make sure that the tranny is, or has been bolted up to a motor to keep the weather out it. Is your car MT or auto? if it stick and you have an EA82 under the hood it will bolt right up and reconnect all the wires going from old tranny to their respective places on the new tranny. and of course im probably leaving some details out of this that i cant remember right now. ~Josh~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acro_sun Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thanks for the advice guys. No I've never rebuilt a tranny before (except on an old dirt bike). Yes the tranny is currently bolted to a motor and yes I'm hooking it up to an EA82. The push button tranny I've got in there right now is whining in first and second and the clutch pedal rattles like crazy due to a worn pilot bearing seat. When hooking up the new tranny will the wires be the same (for the 4wd light)? Also can I shift this tranny on the fly like I do with my push button? Lastly will the output shafts be the same on this tranny (a non-turbo GL10) as on my 93 loyale? cheers josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 the wiring will be different for the 4wd lite. you may be able to splice the d/r wiring into the right location for the 4wd lite, the lo lite will not be present, the lo switch is on the lever itself if you wish to install an indicator lite. you should be able to hook up the reverse lite but the plug ends may be different. have a schematic handy the one in the haynes manual will do yes you can go from 2wd into 4wd on the fly, you wont need the clutch for 2wd to 4 hi and back to 2wd if you are off the gas. but you will need to clutch to go into lo range. the same flywheel, clutch, tranny mount, and driveshaft will fit the same. since your car is non turbo the axles will fit the same as well also, the loyale being non turbo should have a 3.9 diff, may want to check to be sure, and if it does have 3.9 then it will also be compatible with the dual range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
