Didn't see this soon enough.
I have an 84 I'm parting out this month with the struts still on it.

I'm going to eastern Oregon some time after the 4th and have to be back by the 14th.
If I make it back in time I'll try and make that run.
Sounds like a good outing.

I have one of those that did the same thing.
Bought it as a parts car because the trans was making a noise in one gear and the owner was quoted to may $ to fix.
A friend drove it home for me. She had 4 forward gears when we started out. 30 miles latter there was only 1, no neutral or reverse.
Stuck in like third gear. I never could get it out of gear until I pulled the motor, then it shifted fine for some strange reason.
Still have it, threating to tear it down some day out of courisity.
Good luck with yours!!

I did a clutch job on a 95 Brighton.
Had cherry picker and no hoist so I pulled the engine.
Didn't pick it all the way out. Just undid what was necessary to move it forward far enough to get to the clutch set up.
Radiator had to come out.
Had a second fly wheel already turned and just swapped it out. Used a OEM clutch kit.
6 hours start to finish.

Pearl, 90 Legacy LS
218K+ miles
My tranny works decent for it's age, AWD works when it wants to.
But it will let me know by the lack of lights (Sun roof open and shift indicator lights) or the presence of them.
Lights on, AWD is good to go. Lights off, I'm stuck in FWD like the FWD fuse is in.
I have found that a sharp rap to the dash will toggle it. So I have a loose connector I presume but not to interested in taking dash apart to fix at this time. Even though there are two other gremlins in there!! (Tack and heater)
So, my question is if I install a manual switch to ingage/disingage the AWD will it bypass my gremlin?
-
It has several electrical gremlins, one being the AWD. Works when it wants to but most times it can be persuaded to co-operate with the proper massage technique to the dash!!
Don't like to take it out by my self as walking out isn't a good option.
Going to read up on doing the manual switch and see if that will bypass the gremlins. Then I would be more comfortable wheeling it.

One of these days I will have to join you all and see what an under powered Lego can do with street tires.

I'm no authority on all possible causes but can tell you about my experience with an ej22 timing belt jumping.
My first subie, 90 Legacy with 201K miles.
Bought as a runner with suspension issues.
Fixed the suspension and off I go. 300 miles latter it dies on the highway.
I decide the timing belt needs checked (Basics first) and it's off a few teeth. Reset the belt with no success.
End up taking it to a shop who gets it running and tells me the t-belt needed reseting and thats it.
I show up at the shop with my trailer to pack her home. Take a test drive around the block and all seems fine. Go to load on trailer and she dies.
Shop takes her back in and a week later I get a call telling me it's some thing internal, she's toast.
I pack her home and promptly tear down the timing set up. It's out of time again.
Did some checking and one of the idlers is missing a number of bearings allowing it to make quick moves when it jumps on/off the remaining bearings.
Replaced that idler and have put 18K miles on her sence then.
Also the shop (Subaru dealer) reimbearsed me 100% of my money.
-
The one I picked up had a bad trans (reverse & 2nd only) so using it as a driver wasn't an option.
Around here $600-1,200 for one driveable is quite common.
Good luck with your search.

I believe I have every thing else he needs for an ej swap from a donar car if he just buys an engine. He would still need the ej>ea adapter plate and mod his fly wheel.
I also have the rear assembly for a 2wd>4wd conversion. Not complete these days as I sold the hub/drum off one side. Shipping would be costly though.
If your serious about this swap, read Numbchux's write-up and compile a list of what you will need. Double check it with him and make me an offer.

About how much could i get a EJ22 for, or what cars come with one?
and are there any other subarus i can switch the whole setup for 5lug? i saw something about imprezas.
Legacy 90-96 models have non-interference 2.2's. I believe 96 was the transition year to interference motors.
I payed $375 for mine but I bought the whole car as there are other parts needed besides the motor. IE: ECU & associated wiring harness, MAF & duct work, ignitor. Probably forgot something in that list but gives you an idea to the advantage of buying a running donor instead of peacing it together.
From my reading the Impreza will work for the front only. XT6 for the rear.
-
Did you try putting light upward preasure on the motor before you un-bloted the mounts?
Have GD check them when you'll do the clutch cable. He's as sharp as they come, won't lead you astray!!

Hello everyone. I'm new here.
Anyway, I lifted it up on some jack stands the other day and checked out the engine mounts, the passenger side is pretty torn and the driver's side looks kinda worn out as well. However, the quote of 90 dollars each from a dealership or at least 60 from Baxter's auto-parts kind of put me off on wanting to replace these right away, as I presently don't have a job (though should soon).
If anyone has any advice or insights, please let me know!
Thanks!
It sounds like the board has your clutch problem taken care of.
If your in no big hurry for motor mounts I may be able to assist there as I have parted out a couple ea82's but still have the motors.
I'm going to be very busy the next 10 days or so but things should calm down a bit after that.
If your still in need then, hit me up.

I shipped a gas tank (ea82) via the local post office to the east coast.
Taped all hoses and the filler neck. Wrapped in cardboard.
Made it with no proiblems.

Well, that just blows my cookies. Krapola.
But can't you just unbolt the hub and use the 4x4 hub?
Or is this just wishfull thinking on my part?
2wd discs set up will not work for 4wd cars. Rotors and calipers are the same, but the hub that the rotor bolts to is different.
-
That would be his AC condenser I do believe.
More pics and info at this thread also.: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=84596&page=5
Hope that helps.
nice work! i need to get finished with mine... what is the extra core intop of the engine for?

I thought the rear disk brake set up was part of the GL-10 package.
Looked on the spec's page but it dosn't list the brake set up used!
So much for up grade parts there.
-
Ouch!
Hopefully no one was hurt in either vehicle.
If you do decide to fix I will be pulling a gray 91 Legacy apart for the ej swap goodies. Has minor parking lot dents but nothing serious.
Can get you pic's if your interested.

Have an 89 GL-10 Turbo Touring wagon that is FWD with 3AT.
Has the manuel seat belts for some odd reason.
Seem like you should still be able to get the rear disk brake conversion from it and continue the search for the LSD.
Just stripped down a FWD read disk brake yesterday and seems like the set up I purchased for edrach a while back.
-
Mine is the GL-10 turbo package but FWD (3at)
On this page of the site it list both GL & GL-10 packages. : http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/specs/general/specyears.html

How much of a lift is required to get this to fit?
Thinking about doing this to mine but don't want to go any higher than necessary.
the dual range you will need a lift -
Looks pretty sweet!
Don't think you will have to worry about topping the 1,800lb limit of the trailer needing registration with that load!!
July 13th TSF *I broke it and can't go*

Arrived at the Shell Station at 8:15:AM, got a map but no sign of your friends.
Couldn't remember exactly where they were staging (Forgot to take those instructions:mad: ). I eventually found the spot but didn't realize it until I got home and re-read the thread. (Only saw quads and bikes there)
Tried a couple (easy) trails but turned around when it got to looking to nasty. Did the power line trail and was comitted in a down hill section when it turned rough. Finished it to the end!! Scrapped the front once and the bottom and the trailer hitch numerous times. No noticable damage.
Went to a friends and tried out the logging roads on the back of the property.(Looking for fire wood) Not near as challenging but no dust as the roads are veggie covered.
