bratsrus1 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hi Everybody This is Jerry , as some of you know i traded 4 jack mans wheels for a 86 maroon hatch back. It had no motor or tranny. I had a 86 rx turbo 5 speed dual range tranny so that went in it. Then i found a 87xt for Dave and traded him for a good running EA81 hyd. motor and that went in it. Now i had CVaxles.com build me a set of axles. They fit like factory, all i can say with those 3,70 gears for the street holy cow that little hatch is like the energizer bunny it keeps going and going i don't know what top speed is but it is fast. I called CVAXLES.COM yesterday and odered 2 more of those axles for spares. the price was 105 each not bad for new axles. Now to finish the trail hatch.

bratsrus1 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hi shawn This is Jerry, in 86 rx turbo 5 speed dual range tranny didn't have the diff lock. But i have an 87 and 88 rx turbo 5 speed dual range trannys and they bolth have the diff lock. Yeah i know somebody out there saying thats not fare, but 1 is for my new brat when i find it and the other 1 is for the 4.44 gears if i ever get them from Austraila. Brett Rogers where the hell are you i want my gears. Thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratsrus1 Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi Everybody This is Jerry, i drove my hatch again and all i can say is i don't worry about being pass on the freeway more. In town it is so high geared that i don't use 5th gear only on the freeway. This 5 speed is so e z to shift almost like nothing hook to the shifter. If anybody is thinking about the 5 speed swap don't think about it any more just do it, you will be amazed. Thanks Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
