So... Just to get a little history...
When you towed it, it wasnt in 4WD at all?
How was it up on the tow dolly?
Sounds like something was damaged in the tow...
It was towed on a dolly with the front wheels off the ground. It was in neautral and in 2wd. Nothing is torn up. I think its just time for the clutch to be changed. I will be attempting to remove the motor tomarow to change it out. Does anyone know of a quick way to pull the motor? Some tips or tricks.
-
Thanks for the help but id really like to do it tomarow.The clutch will be here tuesday so ill start ripping it apart and hope for the best lol. Unless anyone else is close that can swing bye. Really hopeing to meet other subaru nuts in this area.
-
So i moved from nm to cali. Pulled the car off the dolly and now the clutch is slipping. It slipped pretty bad for acouple days in 3rd and 2nd then it stoped. It didnt slip for acouple days and now its slipping again. Are these signs of the clutch going out? I Didnt have any trouble with the clutch in new mexico it didnt slip at all. Whats the best way for 2 guys to change this clutch with no engine hoist.We will be doing it in a covered garage. 1988 subaru dl 4x4 spfi

Part won't be in untill Tuesday. This is my first clutch job and id prefer doing it with someone that knows what there doing. Please give me a hand.

Thanks Guys. Now i plan to finish the paint. Also plan on spraying the rims with some gun metal paint. The 2nd radiator fan would not fit. water pump pully is in the way.
-
Ok enough waiting. Here she is in all her glory. Need to touch up the paint and fix some of my cutting mistakes. Im going to put a used radiator in it today. Its been running a little warm latley. Also going to add a 2nd stock radiator fan new thermostat and a new waterpump gasket mines leaking.

Ok the 235 75 15s are all on. Almost killed both of my wrists trying to drill the rims out. lol I was able to drill out all of the rims with one 1/2 drill bit and some cutting oil. Cutting and beating the front was easy. Then i got a little carried away cutting the back. I ended up cutting into the car its self. Where the rear windshield washer container is. Ill have to cover the whole back up. and make my cuts look good. Had some random guy on the street tell me it was bad rump roast. And some girl at walmart told me it was awesome and a real chick magnet lol.... Car is mutch slower but i love it. Took it to about 65mph and didnt have any wabbles or shakes.. Will get pics soon
-
That is good news. Im so glad its not a pita to tow.
-
Thanks for the info. If i have to lift it i will. Wheels and tires are going on today.
-
The 235 75 15s crammed in the dl on the way to my buddys shop to get them mount and balanced
Got them all ready to go
Just need to drill the rims out and bolt them up
And this is the monster lightning hideing behind my subie
Rims and tires should be mounted up tommarow. Got lazy today

Hey guys so i need to tow my 88 dl 4x4 ea82 5sp single range wagon from New mexico to California. I cant get a dolly so i will be flat towing it behind a uhaul. Is there anything i need to unhook or disengage so i dont tear it up. Am i fine just leaving it in neutral?
-
So i grabbed this 88 dl spfi 4x4 wagon off of my friend who moved to cali.Paid $800 cash and it runs like a champ and everything works.
These are my plans for my ea82 wagon.
They have to be done bye the end of feb. Me and my subbie will be liveing in fairfield ca in march.
plans
1990 montero 6-lugs five wheels in total
spare wagon hub to redrill the rims
New front cv axle
water pump/thermostat
235/75/15 Goodyear wranglers from wal-mart
No lift. I dont mind putting her under the saw
Pics will come tomorrow when i start throwing it together
-
Found 5 15" 89 montero wheels and 1 good tire for $75 at a salvage yard. Is this offset right for my ea82 wagon
-
Ive got my mind set on 235 75 15s why do you say its hard to steer?
-
Looking to get new tires and im just curious what the biggest tire i can fit under it stock. I dont mind beating and hacking on the fenders or cutting into the rear doors. I have tried searching but cant seem to find what im looking for.
-
So i found these on cl for a really really good price. will i be able to redrill them and use them on my ea82 wagon. It looks like the steel is raised up between all of the lug holes.
-
Ill have to fix my egr solinoid to turn off the cel. The state might not like the tires sticking out of the side of the car with no flares. Never had to deal with emisions so i dont know what to expect.
-
I didnt mean to come off rude. I understand what ratty2austin told me. They might go on and if they did i wouldint have any down travel. Im sure i would end up with a bunch of broken axles. Im going to see what truck tires will fit on it stock. Im not scared of hacking up the fenders. Im just not sure how the state of california will like it. I will be moving out there the end of the month. Might try and keep it registered in NM because we dont have emisions here.
-
If im going to do it im gunna do it big lol. The full 6" lift kit from sjr is $800 that price seems a little high. Is this my only option or is there other people making a 6" kit for less? how hard is it to install the full kit? Any special tools required? Im also not sure how i would extend the steering linkage brake lines ect. This car is also my daily driver and i cant have alot of down time.
-
I was wondering if my 88 dl wagon would be fine just lifted with sjr front and rear stut lift. what problums would i run into?
-
I am trying to get ahold of him. And ill give him your number or something when he calls me back.
-
That's the blue one from Flagstaff isn't it? I was talkin about going down and looking at the 2wd - I need it like a hole in the head. I used to go wheelin in the glade with some NM buddies of mine. Do people still go out there?
No that blue one has sat in farmington for many many moons. Im not sure what you mean bye glade?
-
I called him lastnight. Hes going to try and get ahold of her in the next couple days.

Well I got the clutch finished Tuesday. Went and bought a comealong and some chain and hooked it to the roof of my garage. Started pulling the motor at 10am and had the car running again by 7pm with some breaks. Got it all done and test drove it to walmart to return the comealong and chain. Lol. I did the whole job by myself with no help. Not bad at all. Ea82s are very easy to pull.
