kellyray Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Would this have a EA81? Is this thing 4x4 and if so would it have dual range? http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ctd/1022014288.html Thanks Gents, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nope. That's way newer than what you're looking for. A regular old 1st gen Legacy -- EJ22, not 4wd dual range (might be all wheel drive, but for that price, probably not even that). You want a wagon from '81 to '84, or a hatch from '81 to '89 I think. Or a brat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 NOpe ..that should be an EJ22 and from the way it is sitting it could be a FWD model Even if it was "4WD" it would actually be AWD ..an no dual range. not even selectable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyray Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 How about this one? It says tranny trouble so its probably automatic? http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/1021172422.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 How about this one? It says tranny trouble so its probably automatic?http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/1021172422.html That's a DL so even if it is 4WD 5 spd, it will be a push button single range. It does have a 1.8 motor but it's an EA82 and will not fit into your Brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Appears to be a front drive DL. Automatics and manuals all can have issues. Either way it would still be an EA82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman18 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 As for an EA81 motor you need to find one out of any Gen 2 style car. 81-89 and same for the 5 spd dual range. As long as its a 4WD GL 5 spd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyray Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 As long as its a 4WD GL 5 spd Whats a easy way to tell the GL part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 As long as its a 4WD GL 5 spd Whats a easy way to tell the GL part? It also has to be a GEN 2 body style, for instance, the same style as my Brat. And you'll be able to tell a GL because it says GL on the back, well actually, Subaru GL. If you find one of those it should have a EA81 motor and a 4 spd dual range! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) The GL model name was carried over on the EA82 bodies- For a wagon or sedan, it'll have to be an 81-84, if it's a sedan it'll be 2wd though. For a Hatch or Brat, 81-89 usually does it. Wagons, RXs, and sedans 85 and later are EA82 cars. The EA81 bodied cars can be a DL or GL, DL might have an EA71 1.6l or an EA81 1.8l, but will be 2wd or at most single range 4x4. The GL will most likely have the EA81 1.8, and can be 2wd or dual range 4x4. Just to add to the confusion a bit............ Milesfox's economysuperstar page has some good info on all this stuff.

abog Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Dont forget the ea81 turbo sedans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Dont forget the ea81 turbo sedans! Those won't have the motor and tranny he's looking for. 4x4 welder, thank you for being more specific. Kellyray, here's a thread with a craigslist ad that has a Gen 2 Brat that's a little closer to you. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=95715 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
