Joey Joe Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 My 1990 subaru layale had an impact on the front tire resulting in the axle pulling the tranny stub out of the auto tranny. What probably happened to my tranny and how do I diagnose this and how fixable is this problem. I have an excellent 5 speed which I can install if need be, a lot of work but I would love it to be a stick. Also, do the 2 types of trannies basically swap or are there dxrive shaft changes and such that need to be done, I will search more but so far havent found good posts, can anyone direct me to a few.

suberdave Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 sounds like you had better start on that swap... or find a new tranny. -=Suberdave=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Well - I think if you can't pound that puppy back in (some tranny's apparently you could slide-hammer those out, but others were bolted in from the inside?) then your are SOL. As good a time as any for a 5 speed swap it sounds like. Take a look at the stub that got "pulled" out and see if you can determine if it broke, or was just pulled free of the diff.

85Sub4WD Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 you would have to completely tear the tranny apart to the stub back in - it is attached with a C-clip in the front diff swap the tranny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less potential issues later. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I've pulled those stubs out of a legacy tranny before. Another shop in town needed one and they said that they pounded it back in. Hell in a wrecked forrester that we made into a rally ride for around the shop, we used bigger spring rings or what ever they are called, cut them down and bent it to fix and pounded rear axles back into the diff. It seemed to work. As far as the EA tranny, I'm not sure. There is one sitting at my shop that has the same problem. From looking at it, probably going to have to rebuild the front diff of the tranny, or replace the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 it will pop back in. there should ba a spring clip on the tranny end and just tap the stub back in if the clip is missing it will still work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
