Hi Jeff This is Jerry, i was the first guy to install a 5 speed in a stock brat sence then i have done alot of 5 speed swap overs. My self i will never go back to a 4 speed, once you drive your car with the 5 speed you will know what i am talking about. BTW i am the guy that makes the 5 speed kit to fit the EA891 cars.

RPM Questions
Ney X7 This is Jerry, i have a 86 EA81 hatch that has a RX 5 speed dual range tranny with 3.70 gears. At 65 mph the tach is at 3000 rpm, you have the same gears that i have. I think your auto tranny mush be slipping, it could be that the auto tranny has lower gears in it. I also have the stock tire size 185R 70X13. Thanks Jerry

Hey SS This is Jerry, what kind of car are you going to put the tranny in that makes a difference. If is't for your hatch back EA81 engine well that would tell me it would be the 5 speed dual range tranny. Thanks Jerry

Making leg room in the Brat
Hey Scott This is Jerry, you need to look at my photos and look at my tall hatchbrat the blue one. I am 6 foot tall and the way i set up the seats they don't hit the back wall also my feet are about 3 inches from the pedals. The car is a 86 hatch with a 82 brat roof and back wall. The wall was moved back about 3 inches lots of room. Thanks Jerry

gas mileage - EJ22 with 3.7 or 4.11?
Hey Andy This is Jerry, the 3.70 gears take less RPM than the 4.11 gears for the same speed. So if you are going 60 mph and have 3.70 gears your tach will be reading 3 grand. If you change to 4.11 gears at 60 mph your tach will read some where about 38 hundred you will be turning more rpm's but it will take less torque to push the car most likey better gas mileage because it will be like always going down hill on the flats. Thanks Jerry

Studs.. or rip them out...
Hey Mike This is Jerry, put the wheels on your hatch and drive. When spring gets here just get a small blade screw driver and pop the studs out. Your are ready to go, done this many of times. Once you pull the studs you can't install new ones. Thanks Jerry

WonderBrumby II Performance videos
Hey Marty This is Jerry, your brumby is really cool only one thing you can improve with it. Thats to install a 5 speed dual range tranny. I make a kit for your brumby i think if it's the same as our brats in the states then it will fit. With this kit all of your shifters and consel remain stock. If you are interested in a kit let me know. I have ship some parts to Aussie before. Thanks Jerry

advice
Hey Big Guy This is Jerry, well stuff the sammy frame and running gear under the brat and go spring over. Then you use the 2.2 EJ engine with the 5 speed dual range tranny mated up to the sammy T case then you got some low gears. The sammy is the same width as the subaru, you will have to lengthen the sammy frame to fit the subie wheel base a really fun project. Thanks Jerry
