zyewdall Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 If so.... what's the chance that I could put the low range input shaft unit from a EA series transmission in there? Probably between zero and nil, I suspect. It appears that the Justy uses a 23 spline input shaft, compare to a 21 spline input shaft for a EA.. which doesn't bode well for anything else interchanging... I'm trying to figure out some way to get more low end torque out of the Justy. It bogs down in snow pretty easily once it gets deeper than the belly -- like most subarus with good studded snow tires, it doesn't lose traction, but the rpms' just drop till the engine stops, and I have to drop the clutch at 4,000rpm to get it to move. Not good. Same problem my friend's legacy has, but even worse. The old GL, with low range, would usually spin the 13" tires even when the car wouldn't move at all. If the installing low range in the transmission doesn't work, my other idea is building a hybrid system with an electric motor assisting the gas engine at lower rpms. That's going to take a while to figure out....... (though I do remember reading on the internet about 8 years ago about someone who put such an electric assist on an old carbed Justy, and got it to accelerate quite a bit faster).

idosubaru Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 the justy is a completely different animal i think i don't know that anything interchanges hardly. how about some lift, that would be much simpler wouldn't it? get it off the ground and out of the snow a bit. packing snow under any vehicle usually doesn't bode well. doesn't matter how much power and traction you got if your vehicle is snow packed with the wheels off the ground.
