The Dude Abides Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yea, me to mick. I told you not to try and life that dam transmission by yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I lifted my trans by myself. What is the status? Going to go with a Weber? or hitachi? or the newton junkyard ea82 parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 The status is and lessons learned are. Never go over a month without changing your bad alternator. Never underestimate how many electrical connections exist. Never count out old technology, with the unusable carter carb. Never believe that all the fluid has drained out. Never think that if you ruined one part, a subaru guy doesnt have 50 others stashed in a box somewhere. Never say a single range transmission is ok when you have a dual range on the floor right behind you. Never suspect otherwise if you have ever taken your subaru offroad that a pile of mud isnt greating you underneath where said parts were. Never forget how old parts got you through the tough times. Thanks for the memories. Never forget that you didnt drain all the fluid out of the trans before you pulled it out of the junkyard allowing it to spill on the floor while your partner is telling you to get a bucket why you just sit there and say its ok 3 times. Never underestimate the power of a dude in the engine bay shot. Never think you shouldnt take another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 you putting in a ea81 with a weber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Lifting the trans isnt normally a big deal but if you are leaning over the front of a lifted vehicle with the hood latch pressing into you its a little harder... Reasons for going with ea81: Only 106k miles Already had it. no timing belts No old electrical components to deal with no more worried about frying another ecu. Cheaper to maintain Easier to troubleshoot Upgraded to dual range too. 140k. Its in already. Just need to move the clutch/flywheel stuff over and yank off the intake manifold... Weber is on its way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 What would you say to just wireing that fuel pump and electric fan up to a toggle switch. If its simpler i say we do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 No, not yet. The motor is waiting for a manifold and carb swap. Then convert a few other parts over. It probally wont make mudcoast but i might try to show up since i cant go to my charity event now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
