um hes keepin it. thats what im goin to prob do put this ea82t in a brumby but its got cracked heads as well

hows it goin? is it possible to put an ea82t into a brumby ute rather than and ea81t as my ea81t is stuffed and my mate has taken it ive got a whole donor car wiring loom gear box eveythink. any help would be great. cheers patt

The rubber busings in your gearbox just make it smoother and easyer shiftin. They wont be causing the shifter to jump out of gear it is the sincro mech in the 5th gear selector fork, You can just open up the housing and do it yourself for next to nuffin but its not worth pulling apart unless you know what ur doin, if you are goin to pull the box apart you might as well do all of the sincros at once im not sure what the cost of sincros are over where you come from but u can be sure if u do the one no long after its back in another will go. patt

yea it is between the two valves u donk know where i could get them welded do u?

yea man ive got an ea81t ova home in akaroa but its got cracked heads is it hard to get them welded is it very strong

i heard all this talk about rwd brumbies. can u get plugs of some sort to fill in the holes on the transaxel and what about the bearings on the front i would like to do this but would still like to convert it back for when 4wd is usefull but wouldnt want to damage the ute in any way e.g rusted bearings. is it road legal is dosnt weaken the ute in any way does it.

would it be a much easyer conversion for a ea81t than an ea82t. what sort of power is acheiavable to get out of an ea81t on a normal workers budget. i still cant get over how expensive brumbys are over the world u can get a minta over here for about 3000$ in aussi u r still payin 5000$-6000$ i cant believe it which bring importing one in out of the question.
