i put an ea81 in a 2wd 3spd ea82 car, and i had to grind away a lot more than yout typical 5spd setup. the motor was from a 2wd 5spd, noah's point ...

trashwagon 6 has a similar set up, tet me give you some heads up i used a 5spd full time single rance locking diff trans from an XT6. mine from the XT6 is a 3.900 final gear. did your trans come from a turbo? if so you are good to go. if it came from an xt6 you will need the THREE-NINE diff i used the pushbutton 4wd shifter on the full time trans, i had to slot the mounting holes slightly. but everything else hooks up here is the charm with the shifter, the 4wd button and all its workings hooks up the same with te full time tranny, so now my shifter button works as the diff lock. all the driveshaft, clutch and flywheels from the pushbutton tranny works with the full-time the axles will be 25 spline if the trans is from the xt6, i dont know of any 23 spline full time trannies, they are all 25 splines that i know. all 3spd turbo trannies are TWENTY-THREE splines

remove the rear axles. the axles have roll pins on each end, drop the diff for room to take them out. once the axle is out, the axle shaft can be knocked out tin the same manner as the front axle. once that is out, the front bearing can be driven out with a hammer and a punch, or fat socket. the inner side needs a special tool, to remove the retainer, and them punch the bearing out from the front side. i recommend replacing the seals, as most bearings only fail when the seals fail. i cant tell you where to find a special tool, so that should be your next question

i have still arranged with mcbrat for all fo that. i can have the van and trailer lined up. what i was going to do is have you send a money order to the guy with the 2 soobs. i have his phone number in my car still. i will have to give that to you. the only thing i am not certain of is having the gas money to go, since i havent worked or made no money, and i by myself cant come up with 200 bucks. call the office first chance yu get. i will have to find you phone number in my contact list..

i have a pair of ea82 fenders, ea81 fendrs(1982) multiple headlight and taillights for sedans and wagons, ea81. i have a few ea81 bezels and a tiallight for a wagon, passenger side. i got many ea82 pieces, like cam towers, lifters, timing belt pulleys, timing belt covers. i also have an ea82 wagon bumper available, lt blue, front

I got an 86 sedan for doing a timing belt job, carb 130k. Myoss Feece and i have made the deal: I will trade the sedan, complete with motor and axles, to myoss feece title for title for the 2wd to 4wd conversion sedan, less its motor, and the RX motor. so now i have a TURBO motor for trashwagon 6, trashwagon 5 runs and drives, and myoss feece has a car to drive. since the sedan will have no motor(its going in a loyale) i will put in one of my long blocks, and use the car as a test bed for a standalone spfi unit that willo make its way into an ea81 gl-10 nsedan if i were to get it the rx crapped out due to an electrical problem, as it popped the fusible link. the motor works in my car, so the problem is in the RX harness. sp far we are on a roll, all of our soobs now will run. we have another soob, are getting another soob from WV, and hopefully the 2 in iowa. soon i can start up the TRASHWAGON MUSEUM

mcbrat is correct, but an ea81 pipe is too short to clear the crossmember on an ea82 body.

i got one. if you can make it to the alliance meet on memorial weekend, i will give it to you. i can bring it out to columbus or morgantown WV if you can get it from there.

i am also planning to come to the midwest meet. i am trying to line up the van and trailer, to get those 2 soobs in des moines. all i need to do is save 200 bucks for gas. we plan to trailer both soos to mcbrat's, try to get the one running, and drive it while towing the other. if it wont run, we wil leave it behind and come back for it soon later

baja'n thru CORN STALKS all day long, open belts, no problema, after returning from a 4500 mile trip with used belts. i say chuck them if you plan on doin any more work to the car in the future

a 3spd auto will fit the same. one xt we had we converted it from 4wd to FWD, to do the convert, get the flexplate, torque converter, and tranny crossmember. anyone on their day off would gladly chuck you an AT for your manual tranny, see if anyone will trade!

you can put an ea82 crosspipe and turbo on the ea81, start from there!

ball joints, ball joints! if the bearings dont make noise, that is it. watch for rattling noises going over bumps and potholes

it is normal to have excessively good oil pressure on startup. we switched out rx to synthetic oil, and the oil pressure has improved. there are pressure reliefs in the motor and oil pump tp bleed off excessive pressure. if you ever service the oil pump, have that in mind.. we had some smoke/leak issues, the cam cover seals(valve cover) wer leaking onto the crosspipe, causing some smoke hope this helps

..for EA81T. as far as your choice of flywheel, use the one that goes with the tranny you are using ea82's have larger holes for the flywheel, but you can use ea81 bolts with the ea82 flywheel, as the flywheel will still center on the crank snout

tim, the more thay act on this "aggravation" the more they are setting themselves up. from my perspective in the police station this morning, i think they realize that they are going too far, i bet the tickets dissapear? but anyways, they DID write tickets, a total of 2 parking tickets and 3 infractions, matt, danny, and don(the sedan), as well as myself. so since we do have these tickets, we will present them to a lawyer. i have taken a log for each occurrence, and each of my visits with the police station, to show a timeline. i think the police didnt expect us to be so on top of this like we are.

th4e po-lice have been giving us hell, ticketing our cars for parking in the street, and all the "pigz go home" signs all over town. im not going out like that. see them in court too bad it all had to end like this..............................

so jim, when can i move in? if alleyboy gets his pole barn lined up, i may consider doing that. i like butler, i just dont like it in this county...

we tried to replace the TPS with an odd one, the replacement was bad, so back to original. it mounts with 2 screws, and if you loosen them, you can turn it one way or the other. we turned it so the car thinks the throttle is moe open, and it helped quite a bit on the low rpm part throttle

it will all swap the same, the mechanisms bolt up the same way. the only fitment differences will be the door panel itself, with the hole for the crank, and minus the hole for the window switch. all of the gts can be swapped with the glass not removed. use a piece of hose to hold the glass where you need it to unbolt stuff

jim, when we were in WV, we bought an oil pan drain plug for some 2 bucks, and it came with a nylon gasket for the drain plug.

well, i have to wait till later today to have the car released by the police, get it out of impound. all of tims paperwork and cell phone is in the car, so we need to get that first. we also need to have the tapes released, and if not that, at least have them let us dub vhs copies for their use(evidence) and let us have the copies i will be requesting video cameras in the court room, and i will subpoenae tim, his camera, and the tapes in court, as well as all of the arresting officers, the land lord, and the occupying tennants. also the license branch lady, that evil wench!! so far the car will cost 60 bucks once officer planck releases it. if the car has been searched already, they no longer have the need to hold it, as the apartment was released after seizure. tim right now is going to the local butler newspapar, and i am contemplating countersuit against the BPD and the county. for one i get arrested on a circumstantial matter, then go on the road, and get arrested again when i come back, dealing with the same officers. the whole event from the license branch to the search warrant, is all on tape, we got everything on tape tpo the point that anything further would have been confiscated, or tim would have been arrested for interfering with an investigation. suppose he could have filmed legally from across the street, but you know these cops, they probably would have exercised their discretion to have the camera confiscated for evidence. so tim played it "safe" for that one. keep tuned, this incident itself will be an example of the libertarian cause that tim represents, it will be an example, i am goint to release all of my court and legal documents to tim for use on this project. this has gone too far it will see its day in court

the cars are 100 bucks each, i could line up a trailer and a van. i would say 200 bucks will get the car and deliver it to the carbola. the ea81 turbo wagon was parked 10 years ago, it ran, but had a bad turbo seal. but ihave an ea82 turbo and crosspipe to put on the car. if i had the car, i would sell it for what i got it for, or i could do some work to it , seals, maybe a 5spd, and sell it after. but my concern is securing the vehicles before the guy decides to crush them, scrap metal is up right now. suppose if mcbrat could help out, we can trailer both cars to his place, and try to get the one running, if it runs, trailer one and drive the other. if it wont run, would mcbrat hold onto the turbo wagon till we can come and get it? and if we didnt, mcbrat would have turbo parts for himself if we made a deal or such? mcbrat hollar at me................

we drilled the flywheel holes on an 81 glf to fit an ea82 motor, the holes are the same, just drilled out in diameter. the timing marks will be off, but you can get odegbtdc from the cam pulleys

im cool with the state, my license, but the county is too much. its got me buried in deep
