GoldDiggerRoo Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 should be a direct swap as far as I know, you've already got the x-member and shifter linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsutomu Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 is there any difference between x-memebers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldDiggerRoo Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 is there any difference between x-memebers? As far as I know there is only a difference between auto and manual x members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 The two trannies are IDENTICAL. Clear enough? Only difference is that one doesn't have the low range, but that's all self-contained in the tranny itself. You don't have to worry about it.

tsutomu Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 thanks GD for being clear. ill be working on it sat and ill ask here if i run into any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobGoob Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 you are going to need the DR lever linkage but it will bolt right in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 you are going to need the DR lever linkage but it will bolt right in He's using the 4 speed D/R, and the 4 speed's had the same lever for single range and dual range. The push-button single range was an EA82 thing. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsutomu Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 the lever is the same but the linkage is different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Is the tranny you're replacing top or side starter mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 He has an 83 Brat, so it's a side starter. D/R's didn't come in top-mount, and neither did the EA81. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 this is so simple... don't worry about it! If you put the transmissions next to each other, the only way to tell them apart would be by the dirt patterns. Take out the single range and put in the dual range, it'll be just like putting the singlerange back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
