I can get all the rear end parts you need from a gen1 wagon (complete rear end torson bar, trailing arms, rear diff (not a 4.11, a 3.7 w/no LSD] axles and brakes. I have the same plans for a 74 coupe, building it into a 4WD car. If you live near the boarder, I have both the old drivetrain (EA71, and the new EA81 D/R 4spd out. You can measure them if you want. I think a major question that hasnt been asked yet is: what are you gooing to use this car for? if it is for going slow over rocks or through mud, I would go with a Dual Range trans to get those gear ratios lower. If you want to have a rally car to push hard on the road, go with the legacy stuff. The only major problem I think you would have is on the underside of the car. There is no driveshaft tunnel, and the gas tank is going to be where the rear diff needs to be tucked away. I assume if you are considering doing this that you have a welder cause YOUR GONNA NEED IT!!!

You might try taking the clutch cable back off and try moving the release fork around. The fork may have come off the pivot point, just a guess. GOOD LUCk

I recently sold my old SUBARU. I miss it. But there is an what looks like an early gen 1 2 door. It is 2 wheel drive, 1400? but I want to convert it to a 4wd d/r 1800 CIS injected beast. Anyways, The car looks like it has been sitting for quite a few years in the driveway of a house near me. It has 4 flat tires and is sitting next to an equally delapatated late 70's BMW. I just want to get an idea of what you all would offer the homeowner for the car. Thanks, Jake Also, Would a 1980 hatchback driveshaft be the right length?
