outlawsubaru1984 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Does anyone know what type of rear wheel drive manual transmission will fit a 1984 Subaru DL 4x4 wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 A small, skinny one. Unless your car started life with an automatic, the trans tunnel will be pretty narrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Buell Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 U could keep the 4wd tranny and just take out the front drive cv axles and put it in 4wd and now you have 2wd to the rear. I had that happen, I busted an axle and I thought the tranny was out, put it in 4wd and got home. Went to the tranny shop thinking the tranny was garbage and it was only a broken cv axle. It would save you a bunch of time and money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Disclaimer, you will have to disassemble a pair of front axles to convert to rwd. You have to put the hub end of the axles back in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Does anyone know what type of rear wheel drive manual transmission will fit a 1984 Subaru DL 4x4 wagon Need more information. There's nothing that's a direct, bolt-in. There are probably hundreds of options with enough fabrication...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 best to research and see whats been done before. I seem to recall there's an EA82 car out there that's RWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Install a 4WD trans Disassemble front axles and leave outer CV joints in hubs keep it in 4WD. You now have RWD. best to research and see whats been done before. I seem to recall there's an EA82 car out there that's RWD. Subaru has never offered a RWD vehicle in the use - not at least in an EA/ER and newer mainstream vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureSubaru Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Can't find the one I was thinking of. There are a few with axles pulled and some EJ swapped. One called the doomwagon https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1894611 Food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureSubaru Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 http://www.billsautofab.com/ Makes a custom bellhousing that mates an EJ Subaru motor to a W series toyota trans. EJ it and get a W50 from a Celica Supra or 2WD Toyota pickup. VROOM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
