Crawlerdan Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 i found a 1987 gl wagon for sale localy, its white witha blue int. has a 5spd with a d/r trans. so im assuming that its a carbed car? right? anyway, its pretty clean , needs a bath and some vaccuming, has tinted windows, and 80k on a rebuilt motor. owner says clutch and starter are new, has decent tires, as well as a spare set of wheels and tires also in great shape-hes asking 1,000 dollars, thats about all i know my intentions are to buy it and trade trannies with my push button loyal, and resale it-am i going to loose big bucks here or can i break even? if i could break even and have a d/r in my loyal that would be sweet-thanks-dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeshoup Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Caboob's 5spd D/R is a FT4WD D/R out of an RX. A) If going on a non-Turbo car, you need Turbo axles. It has a pathetic low range. Just, FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 If it's a local car, it might be SPFI already. The California GL's were SPFI in '87, but none of the rest of the US till '88. He's asking a pretty reasonable amount given the new engine, if it's not rusty. $500 to $1200 is usually what I see. I almost never see the DL's for sale, which is sort of what you are proposing turning it into. Maybe a litttle less than the GL, but most people don't realize the difference between the pushbutton and dual range 4wd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate me..please:rolleyes: I have the electric switch on my sedan & wagon, so I only have high range, right? And the dual range has both low & high :-\. Hey I'm right, right? Or not? I had to edit 'cause the message ended up being about the cost of tranny oil and had nothing I had said in it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not? oooh, you are missing out. The low range trannies have a rpm divider on the input shaft, that when actuated, you suddently have 50% more torque from your engine -- nice for pulling out of snowbanks or up steep hills (and 33% less speed, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
