badgersubaru Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Im 20 and just moved from Alaska to ND for the oil money, and now i finally have the funds to play with cars. Iv owned my first car (93 impreza wagon, 5speed, awd) for 3 years now and fell in love with it instantly. It brang me all the way from Anchorage Alaska to Watford city North dakota last month. Just rolled over 130,000 miles. I have big plans for it when i move back to the west coast but thats a whole other post in itself. I have been on the forums (rs25, dirtyimpreza) the a while now but the reason i got on here, is a friend of mine is selling his very clean 87 gl. So far this is what i know about it. Fwd sedan 5speed body is 10/10, no dents, scratches or visible rust interior looked great It shifts into gear but makes a wining sound like two gears are just barely touching and it moves like its in nutural in all gears. It hasnt had the trans fluid changed in awhile either. My question for you guys is, how hard is it to find a good trans? Also, how easy is it to source parts for a awd conversion near north dakota. I can drive as far as minneapolis minnisota or towards montana if i need to. Reason im asking is im going to offer him a few hundred when i see him again and i will probably have this little gem by tuesday. i will post pics the next time i get a chance to take some. thanks in advance. Sorry for the bad grammar, Im on mobile with a crappy phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Welcome to the USMB! As for the GL, do you hear the same noise in the transmission if you depress the clutch pedal? Does it make the same sound in all gears? You may want to create a separate post in the 80's Subaru forum if you don't get much feedback here.
