habib99 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Is it possible to transplant a Ea82t into a Brat (brumby) you may be better off in the retrofit forum with this question. the bolt pattern on the gearbox is different for a start, dont know of anyone who makes a conversion for that particular switch -funny cause you can get a conversion kit to put a EA81 in a VW or a EA82 in a VW! Why not just get the EA81 rebuilt -some say they are a better engine enyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Actually, depending on the year of Brat, the EA82T will bolt directly up to an EA81 gearbox with a different clutch/flywheel setup. If you do decide to go with an EA82T, might as well swap in a 5-speed also because the 4-speed can handle power, but the gearing sucks! Yes, the EA82T will drop directly into an EA81 Brat (generation 2) without any modifications. I know someone who dropped an EA82T and a push button 4wd 5-speed into a generation 1 Brat and that thing hauled! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebbles Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 :-\ this motor is not worth rebuilding. and the gear box is on its way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
