Turbone

I can probably make it out of wood:brow: Rob

How much more room do you need? It may take a spacer to drop it down to clear the trans. I would remove it for now, then after the tranny install try and get it to fit. Do you have a lift in? It looks pretty tight in there. Has anybody else done this swap? Sheese, I have more q's than Shawn. Rob

Your car has points? As far as I know they havent had them since the 70's. Rob

I think he's still atached to Lewy;) Rob

Wah:boohoo: That really sucks:( Nice score Mc;) I got my eye on it now. How much for shipping from the UK? Rob

A common problem with these are the waterpumps, or to be more exact, the waterpump to lower rad hose o-ring. On the right of the waterpump theres a large metal tube that comes out about 8in, and then into the lower rad hose. Theres an o-ring on the end of the tube that goes into the waterpump. The o-ring comes with a new waterpump. This is just an option, and probably wouldnt hurt replacing before summer gets there. Rob

Ditto on that. You most likely have the disty off a tooth or two. Rob

Maybe even a cooling line came loose. Rob

You said the voltage at the switch when operating is .04. Whats the voltage to the switch from the module? Maybe a bad connection in between? If not, its most likely the switch. If you need one send me a PM or email. Rob

You need to lift the little cargo flap in the rear deck, bolts are 2 on each side. The nuts for the lights are located behind plastic covers in the corners. I think they are 8mm. Rob

Those are airplane engines. Rob

Well, you get the trans from a 1985 + 4wd car! You will also need to swap out the rear end, the ratio's are different. The MT tranny is 3.9. It also means you need the complete drivetrain, which is the 2 piece driveshaft. So it sounds like you dont have enough parts:( Theres lots of 4wd wagons out there, you can pick one up fairly cheap. Its better than doing all that work. Rob

Heater hose is where I put one on the Turbo Coupe. Brass fittings were used. Rob

I'm selling the car. And theres alot of mods with the 5spd swap. Just wanted to keep it stock. And save my 5spd tranny for my Hatch. Rob

After finally getting the 3spd 4wd AT swapped into my Turbo Coupe, I took it out for a test drive. Everything went ok, just a little slow to shift into 3rd. Got back and checked the fluids, all ok. Waited a while then decided to go again, this time a little more aggressively. Wouldnt go into 3rd at all. !@#$%^&. Came back to the house and checked everything again. Let it sit for almost an hour, jumped in and took off down the road, normal driving. This time it started grinding, bad. 1/2mi from the house, I really dont want to push. Turned it around and limped it back in 1st gear. It took me 3 months to do the swap (bad back, remember). There might be someone interested in buying it and having the 5spd D/R put in. You all certainly know what I'm hoping for. I do have the old tranny, which is good. Its just the diff thats bad. I can swap diffs and will probably be good, but its more work than I want to do right now. Well, theres my rant for the week:D Rob

Go to the Pic Gallery and look under readers rides. I have a few pics of that one and of Richies in my photo album. Rob

Uh, who said it was a good idea to drain the fluid out of a AT, and then run it thru the gears with the engine running? Anyone see anything wrong with this pic? Or did I misread the post. Rob

If the belts are ok, its most likely the ignitor in the disty. Rob

Put the 5spd in it, much better on mileage. Wiring isnt a problem, just the reverse switch. You need to take the pedal box off the parts car and put it in. This is the hardest part, harder then the tranny install I think. Clutch cable and speedo cable. Need to swap out the brackets that hold the strut cap rods, these have to bolt to the body. Also the tranny mounts. If I missed anything, others will pitch in. rob

The EA81 AT's are junk. Dont waste your money rebuilding it. If you want to keep the AT, go to a JY and get another, preferably from a low mileage car. The best way to fix this is put a 5spd in. Its some work, but it will pay in the long run. Rob

Why are you still here John?

Did you replace the Alt with a new one? Rob

Take your battery in and have it checked. It may have a bad cell, or could just be getting old. Rob

Nope, cant see it in any of the shots, alot of mods in the engine bay. Its kind of buried behind the manifold and under the plenum.

If there is excessive oil from the compressor side into the transfer pipe (plenum), check the PCV system. Straight from the FSM. Rob
