xbalancex7 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I would like to make the swap in a 1990 loyale from auto to 5speed manual dual range 4wd. currently it is auto push button 4wd. I have been searching the forum for advice on tranny swap probs or instructions. I am in noo really hurry, but what is the best year range I should look for? I guess I'm gonna be looking for a complete doner car as I may need various odds and ends not just the tranny. the auto works fine I just kinda want more range and a lower rpm at around 70 mph. currently it tachs about 4300 rpm at 70mph (give or take) what yall roo-heads think? a lot of the searches I find are different years swap threads, I would like one specifically in and around 1990 model cars.

The Beast I Drive Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I think the d/r 5 speed was available in the gl up to 1990, but Im not sure 100%. Late 80s would be your best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 88 and 89 are the years you want to swap from. Older transmissions do not have the neutral switch for the fuel injection. Loyales (90 to 94) never came with D/R. It was specifically a GL feature. It's an easy swap. Applicable threads are any having to do with EA82's. They are all basically the same from 85 to 94. This has been covered many, many times. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
