EA81 Tranny Bolt Up To EA82

[Durania]

I have a 5 speed out of my EA81 hatchback, does anyone know if it will bolt up to an EA82 wagon that needs a new tranny?

i don't think you can cause i was reading in the repair manual on here and someone put an ea-82 tranny to an ea-81 motor and they had to grind something of of the tranny. but you might be able to make an adpater.

Thats all I needed; thank ya.

the bell housing bolt patterns are the same. the grinding is needed if you are going to mate a 5 speed D/R to an ea81 bell housing, as the flywheel has a bigger backside profile, and needs to have the bottom edges of the ea81 bell housing adjusted a bit.

 

you will need to use the flywheel/pressure plate/clutch that goes with the 4 speed.

What i am talking about is taking the 5 Speed out of my GL Hatch and putting that into a 87 5 speed EA82 wagon because its tranny is burned out.
