sparrowhawk Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm sure this has been done but can't find anything about it posted. Want to swap the 5 spd from my 85 wagon into my 82 Brat. Any help with what works or what I'll have to change would save some time. Thanks Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives in Yakima so you could probably just hook up with him and avoid shipping. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrowhawk Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Got the motor and trans out of the Brat yesterday. Jumped on the old Guzzi/Sidecar today and took a pleasant jaunt over Chinook Pass to Yakima to visit Jerry. Got his kit to put the 85 wagon 5spd in the Brat. Got to look at his Soobies and that was worth the trip alone. The little bit he charges for the kit he puts together is a paultry sum considering the time and mistakes it will save figuring it out yourself. (Learned a lot also. Disc brakes on the rear next.) Hope to get the trans out of the wagon in the next week or so. I have a friend that says he can rebuild it for me so I might have him do that before I put it in the Brat. I'll take the opportunity to change any gaskets and seals that are or might leak on the motor and pressure wash everything. I'm going to sand blast all the little sheet metal covers from underneath and send them out with the next batch of powder coating. I hate rust and for the most part there is none in this Brat other than those little covers. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
