[EJ 4EAT transmission into BRAT - any info out there?]

I was able to swap the EJ22 ends on to my EA81 axles to install EJ22 5MT. Use the EA cage with the ball bearings from EJ. I'm stuck on how to get my MT to fit though, it's too tall and even with tunnel mod how would I mount to EA81 bracket? Anyone have ideas?

Could this work for an 5sp?
Then I dont need to change anything else to make the shafts fit.

 

[Hello from Sweden!]

The concept is that they are legal for 15 year olds to drive them.
In the winter they are nicer than mopeds.

I have built one already and the second is on its way.
My kids are now 14 15 16
So we will have 3 tractors running...

Thanks for the info!
I have just mated my EA81 with the RX-gearbox.
Now Im taking it apart to place restrictions on gear 4 & 5.

I will only be using the lower part of the Leone susp for the Brat.

 (I'm running a complete EA82 front suspension under my BRAT).

This got my attention!
What did you modiify in order to make this work?

Do the frame fit bolt on?

[Building a swedish "a-traktor" from a 1990 brat and a 1990 stationwagon.]

An "a-traktor" a modified car that only  can drive 30km/h on the highest working gear and must drive no faster than 10km/h on the lowest gear when engine is running 2/3 of its full rpm.
15 year olds are allowed to drive them so they are common here in the north.

I will use the 1990 Brat and put in an ea82 wtih 5sp and dualrange with locking centerdiff.

In the rear I will use the transaxle from a volvo 340.

With this set up I can put the rear gearbox in first gear and at the same time have the front gearbox in first low gear.

Since the centerdiff is open the car will adapt to the lowest gear in the rear and that will make it meet the regulations for registering.

After registration the rear gearbox will always be in fourth gear wich is 1:1.
The frotn gearbox will have only 1-3 and reverse working.
I will have an electronic speedregulator that cuts power to the ignition coil when it reaches 30km/h.

It will make 30km/h  at appr 1700 rpm on third gear high.
This allows for full rpm usage on lower gears until speed hits 30.


Does this sound strange?
Its a Swedish thing....

Question:

Will the brat/Leone axles fit or must I modify them?

Is the 5 speed wider than the 4 speed?

 

[Hello from Sweden!]

I bought my first Subaru about 4 years ago.
A 1986 4wd wagon.  ea82 5speed with dualrange.
I drove it 50000km before I sold it.
Now I have 4 wagons and one sedan.

And 3 brats also.

One of the brats is converted to something called "a-traktor"

Its a modified car that only  can drive 30km/h on the highest working gear and must drive no faster than 10km/h on the lowest gear when engine is running 2/3 of ist full rpm.
15 yearolds are allowed to drive them so they are common her i the north.

Next one up to be modified to a-traktor is a 1990 brat.

Im planning on putting an EA82 with 5 speed AND the locking diff in it.
I am also putting the transaxle from a volvo 340 in the rear to obtain the low gear.

My only real concerns are how to fit the driveshafts.
