i never really got into 1st gen or ea81 cars a whole lot- so my knowlage on compatability is limited, but none the less-

 

working on an 81 brat, 4spd d/r

 

what other ea81 cars came with a d/r?

 

i need to replace the tranny ASAP

!!!!

 

 

THANKS GUYS!-Dan

Pretty much all of them except possibly the coupe's. I know there were D/R's on all the manual GL's from 81 till the hatch was disco'd in '89. The coupe's I don't think came as D/R and only the '83/'84 turbo's were 4WD. So you are looking for manual transmission GL's in the Brat, Hatch, Sedan, or Wagon body from '81 to '89 (Brat till '87 and Hatch till '89 - all other's disco'd after '84).

 

That said, the 5 speed D/R is a much better option - those came in all manual, GL, Non-Turbo's from '85 to '89. The "EA82" bodys which were Wagon's, Sedan's, and 3-Door Coupe's.

what is involved in an ea82 tranny swap?
