    1986 gl10 sedan tranny swapping

    in Subaru Retrofitting

    Posted

    ive kinda searched around the forums for this.. just wanna make sure its compatble..

     

    have an 86 gl10 turbo sedan, and i put LARGE tires on it with no lift, and now for some WERID :^) reaswith a manual and push button 4x4 on the gearing is way too high.. the slowest i can drive is 7mph at 800 rpm... and thats a bit fast for wheeling

     

    do the dual range manual trannys bolt up to these motors? like one from an 82 ?

     

    or will i need to do something special?

     

    thanks!

    2wd to 4 wd conversion

    Posted

    ok so ive got a 1993 legacy 4 door car that has an auto tranny - FWD

     

    the tranny is crapping out on me and I happen to have a AWD auto tranny - can i just bolt it up? do i need to change anything in the computer?

    I am aware of how much work this project can be - and i also know that people are going to tell me to get rid of the auto tranny, and go with a manual - but that not what I want to do.

     

    any thoughts? or ideas - can i just plug the back output shaft on the tranny and use it as a FWD? or will that anger something inside of it?

     

    give me hell quimby!!!

    thanks!

    Legacy BIG Tranny leak

    in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX

    Posted

    Ok so I just bought this 1993 legacy 4 door car.. front wheel drive with an auto tranny.

    It leaks a stream of tranny fluid about the diameter of a pencil anytime the engine is running. I crawled under there and looked - it seemed it was coming from the tranny pan! no big deal - changed out the filter and pan gasket...

     

    STILL LEAKS!

    So i got a closer look - there is a "slot" between the tranny and where it connects to the differential - and the fluid is coming out of there - I imagine that means the front seal on the tranny is leaking. and also - the gear oil dipstick is red like its leaking into there.

     

    So how hard is this seal to replace? (assuming thats the issue)

     

    I always do my own work - but im feeling kinda lazy - plus I have a sloping gravel driveway at the moment (hard on jacks)- if i could get a tranny shop or someone to do it for $350 or so - Id just pay them to do it.

     

    any thoughts / suggestions?

     

    thanks!

    did i get a good deal?

    I just bought a 1991 lagacy sport sedan with a turbo, and A/T 4 wheel drive... for $500.

     

    Ive had legacy's before - non turbo, and ive had turbo loyal's but this thing is a blast to drive! it seems to be awesome!

    Is there a difference between AWD and full time 4WD?(just asking - ive been a mechanic for over 7 years - just havent dealt with subarus that much)

     

    I'm looking for some stats on it - i.e Hp, Torque, how much boost it has stock... or just some general comments...

    Im assuming that I just got a good deal?

     

    Thanks!

    83 locking diff

    in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

    Posted

    Ive got an 83 ea81 wagon with 4x4 hi/low range - I was wondering if there is a way to weld the gears in the back, or otherwise lock the diff in the rear of the car?

     

    I have never opened up a subaru rear end - I dont know if welding is even possible, or if its something i want to do. I just want something as close to a locker, or posi as possible, as i only use this car off road

     

    thanks!
