mexiburger Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I am just wondering if it is possible to put a 5 speed (possibly dual range) trans from a 88 wagon in an 81 BRAT. i don't have the details for anything yet but may have the chance to do it. if I could what would i need for things like drive shafts, clutch or any modifactions i would need to do.

mexiburger Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 Ok i tried a search, i didn't really find any details on years. i just want to know if anyone thinks it would work. Thanks mexiburger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWet Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 It is a popular swap. I plan on doing it shortly to my new-to-me 82 Brat. The Ultimate Subaru Repair Manual has a writeup on what is involved, and there are many threads in the Old Generation forum that talks about this. The USRM article is: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=37 I can't figure out how to get Search to work right much of the time, and for 10 years I was responsible for a search-engine...

Brumby Boy Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Yeah everything you will need should be listed in the article in the USMB - Repair & Mods section on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloppy Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Does it matter that the brat is still the old body style? will everything fit up the same? i was thinking about doing this in my 79 wagon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
