ecky Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I was wondering, is there any way possible to add a 5th gear, to a '77 tranny? If so, who can do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75subie Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 if its 2wd, i know of a free motor and 5sp tranny in MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 What you would have to do is change engine bell housings and then put the ea82 5 speed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecky Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 it's 4wd and the thing is I want to keep the drive selector in front of the shifter., so that it looks kinda stock. thax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waimaks Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I thought I read somewhere that there were some 5 speed ea81 boxes? eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecky Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 DID subaru make a 4wd five speed for the gen ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I'm almost positive that the EA81 5 speed came only in 2wd. You could make up the linkage to run the EA82 4wd tranny in your car using a close-to-stock looking lever. It would take some fab work, but I'm sure it's possible.

Never heard of anyone pulling this off yet. Personal dream for me would be an EA71 with a D/R 5spd....and SPFI. Be sure to let us know if you stuff a D/R 5spd into that '77.You'll be my hero.

bratsrus1 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hey Guys This is Jerry, i am in the proscess of doing that same project. It is a 80 brat with a 6 inch lift and a hot EA81 with the 5 speed dual range tranny useing the stock shifters. Also i have install the EA81 rear suspension and rear disc brakes. From doing this project if you are going to stuff the 5 speed dual range tranny in a EA71 car or brat you will need at least a 4 inch lift the tunnel is to small and the tranny is to big to fit without alot of mods to the tunnel. It will be done in about 2 weeks and i will let you know how it turns out. Thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
