sorry, its a 1985 gl-10 turbo.. yea I'm not a big fan of the 3at.. how hard is it for a 5sp conversion?

So my 3at, give up the ghost. What are my options, how much are used 3at's in the seattle area. Also where can you find them?.. I have an 85 gl-10 t thanks

So I have 85 gl10 and I am in the process or replacing my heater core, I got one form parts america but it is not the same as what is in the car. The one I got is much fatter and not as wide, it does not fit in slot where the old one is, also it has short connectors. The stock one had long copper connectors that go throught the fire wall. Does annyone know the part # ar a part # or where I can this correct heater core. The one that goes thought the firewall. Since my car is all ripped apart now. thanks P

(I never worked on an auto before) :-) .. wow I'm in a much better mood now.. so what is the procedure for reinstalling the tc, I slide it on the shaft turn clockwise till I hear 3 clicks right? P

Just a guess, what about the ignition tumbler (where the key goes).. just a thought..

I'm worried about the AT fluid leaking out.

To make a long story short, I was pulling my engine on my gl-10 3at and managed to create an at fluid leak through the input shaft. A lot of at fluid leaked out behind the tc and down the case. So how screwed am I?. I'm hopeing that it is just the seal behind the tc on the tranny side. Anyone have any experiance with this? I really need to get this fixed so if anyone knows what seal I screwed up, and where to get it in the Seattle area help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks that site is very usefull.

If I had more time and wanted to spend the cash I would def do a swap.. The at3 is not the greatest transmission in the world interms of economy.. he.. anway, I have always woked on manual cars, I'm gonna lift the engine, my plan was to unbolt the intake manifild, and just flip it back so all I have to worry about is the engine. Is there anything I should watch out for regarding the Tq converter?.. I dont think so but might as well ask, .. also is there any place to get stering rack bushings, and where is a good palce to rent engine lifts. around bellevue wa?.. P

I got an 85 gl10T 3at, Anyway right now the two seals on the tranny side of the half shafts are leaking front diff oil. Also I am leaking engine oil, from what looks like the rear main. i was planning on changing the seals on the half shafts as well as the rear main. Now I am wondering is it easier to get to the rear main by lifting the engine( I have no lift), or dropping the tranny(dont forget I already will have the half shafts out of the way). Also is there any items I should look out for? or replace while Im in there. Thanks P

Quick question, how hard is it to change the rear main seal. I do not have a lift and was thinking of just dropping the differential since I have to do the two seals on the driveshafts (thus I have to take them out anyway). How hard is it to do it this way, annyone done it? its an 85 gl10 T

So I have most of my timing cover off, water pump seal went bad, I was just gonna put some gasket maker on it and call it good. is there anything else I should change while I'm in there? Thanks

heh, my gasket on my water pump just went out, I say about 4 hour job for the first time and if youre not tired like I was.

I'm 6'5 and about 240#.. . iIn my gl-10 I could use a little more space for the knees, I drive with the wheel up all the way, and if the car did not have a sunroof I would be hurting...

The ea81 should have a weaker head gasket, since in the ea82 you dont have the ohv craziness going through them.. however its probly offest since the ea82's make more power thus more stress on the head gasket..
