EA71 Fat Case with FWD Dual Range 5speed Gearbox.


Recommended Posts

First of all I would like to know if  exists some FWD D/R 5 or 4 speed gearbox.

 

Second,if it is possible to transform some 5speed D/R AWD gearbox to be used as FWD with EA71 fat case.

 

Third,all the needed parts to fit some D/R 5speed gearbox to the EA71 fat case.

 

Fourth,all the gear ratios,FDs,the transfer ratios of all the D/R 5speeds for EA71 engine.

Yes very tall! Especially considering no FWD dual range transmission exists!

 

To the OP, the only Subaru transmissions that are dual range are either 4WD or AWD.

 

While anything is possible, running a 4WD/AWD transmission permanently in FWD would mean you have to plug the transmission output shaft (basically so the oil stays in the transmission!) and while it has been done by people as a 'stop gap', not sure it would work long term.

thank you Loyale 2.7 Turbo ....

finaly: is it possible to transform some 5speed D/R AWD gearbox to be used as FWD to fit on some EA71 fat case?

 

You're Welcome.

 

Have you considered the posibility of making your Subie to be 4WD?

 

Even if it doesn't have the tunnel for the Transmission's shaft, it could be done.

 

Subaru made Few FF-1 wagons in 4WD, with the 1.3L (1300) engine.

 

I've seen full 4WD Drivetrain & Engine swaps from Subarus to another cars...

My target is not to turn my car to 4WD.

My target is to prepare my 1973 4door Sedan as gravel rally car of the time(1.6 FWD),accordingly to F.I.A. rules of the era.

It must use the EA71 engine and I am willing to put some 4WD D/R 5speed gearbox transformed to FWD(cutting-plugging the rear end)and using some front LSD(helical)differential.

I am trying to know if it is possible to turn some 4WD D/R 5speed gearbox to FWD D/R 5speed one with  front helical LSD .

This way I could having 10 speed gearbox.

To be noted that I have not knowledge of these transmission systems as they wasn't largely shown in my country(Greece).
