my new console set-up with the 5 speed...
I found a radio surround out of an 80's Mazda pickup, at my friendly local bone yard today. That I believe after a little triming should fit and look quite nice.

my new console set-up with the 5 speed...
Looking good!!! What car did the radio part of the console come from? It doesn't look like my Brat piece. I need to find a piece to tie the dash to the console, might just have to fab one. Here's a couple of picks at what been done so far. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/member.php?uid=4453

If find a nut that will fit on the stub you have left and weld it to the the bolt stub. The heat from the welding will let you back out the stud with a wrench.

Thanks to the people of this forum,,,
Thanks to the people of this forum, my Brat went down the road today with 5 forward gears. I got the 86 Brat from a friend for a song and a dance with a smoked clutch and no first gear. Then I found a 87 GL 3dr 5sp d/r in a bone yard and bought the whole car, thinking easy trans switch and away we go. Well after reading, searching, reading alot more and asking questions here on this site, I have moved the trans, driveshaft, shifters, console and seats from the 3dr to my Brat. Used the ea82 clutch disk and throwout bearing with the brat flywheel and pressure plate. Built a carrier bearing mount and replaced the nonreplacable rear U-joint with a Rockford 430-10 that a local drive shaft place had on their self. Used the ea82 header-Y pipe with a cat that seems to be hollow, because it has larger dia. pipes than the Brat had. Now that the drivetrain seems to be working just fine, its time to tackle the body. A little rust a couple of dings and a coat of paint. I think it will be great little Ride. Thanks again for all your help. Craven

Tranny problems?
No, that more than likely means it's time for a new clutch. and while your at it, change the rear crankshaft seal.

Show us your homemade carrier bearing mount!!!
After looking a Qman's and building mine, I have a question. Why didn't Subaru build the mounting tabs strait like most carrier bearings I seen and changed on trucks and such? Instead of the strange angles that thay are at. Hell I thought mine was bent or something.

The driveshaft is in the tunnel, stock location.

Which side?
Just seems the older I get, the less the old harddrive in the head works as well as it did.
-
Which side?
The 2 tranny mounts on a Gen2 Brat are a little different, one is wider than the other. When I bored out the holes to fit the 5sp, I don't know if I put them back on the correct sides. DAH. Must be the blond hair turned gray type of thing. Does the wider mount go on the drivers side of the trans or vise versa?

Brat 5sp swap almost done.
The swap went well, I used the trans, driveshaft, clutch disk, shifters and consol from a 87 3door. About all thats left to do is make some sort of radio surround to tie the 3dr console into the the Brat dash. Just need a Rockford u-joint for the driveshaft and it will be up and running.

Rear U-joint on a 87 3dr 4x4
I did a search and found alot of info. I think maybe I can come up with a fix using a U-joint with inner C-clips.

5 speed swap wiring question
Any news on the wiring change over?

Roll pin removal
Just a hunk of 3/16" steel rod longer than shaft is round should do, they come out fairly easy. Just make sure you drive them out from the dimple side of the shaft.
