EA82 PT4WD trans in an XT6?

[idosubaru]

a guy i know with an XT6 thinks he needs another transmission installed and i'd probably be the one to do it for him. i don't have any manual trans but i do have an EA82 PT4WD transmission. i'm going to drive it next week and make sure it's not the clutch first, but i'm trying to think ahead to help him out.

 

other than swapping the rear diff and driveshaft to match what other issues might i encounter? it should bolt up right?

 

anyone know how the 4WD mechanism works in the PT4WD EA82 trans? i can wire that into the XT6 DIFF LOCK button hopefully?

guys over at xt6.net are saying it won't work. transmission came out of a 1989 non-turbo XT. it appears the non-turbo stubby shafts won't match the xt6 axles. i need a transmission from a turbo EA82 to work in the XT6.

 

how do the EA82 non turbo guys do a 5 lug swap?

Swap around with different DOJ cups. Get ahold of rockwell CV and get the proper joint components to use the EA82 turbo cups on the XT6 axles.

Gary read my posts about using a non-turbo xt 2wd 5 speed tranny in a XT6. In theory if you use 93-94 Impreza axles (have a 23 spline count inner and the same outer as a 6) you're golden. Haven't actually done it yet though.
