hatchsub Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I kno odd question but i want to test out a transmission without putting tons of things on yet. I was planning on just dropping the trans and engine in and firing it up on jackstands (without axles) to see if it would go through the gears and smoothly. Bad idea? I thought i heard i could hurt stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Abides Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ive done it, engine still runs just as bad as it did before. Your good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Done it. Drove the "old" '86 BRAT about 200 yards from out back to the front of the garage. It was LOUD, and gutless as hell. You won't hurt anything just running it for a few minutes without the Y-pipe. Well,,,, maybe your ears.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 i've done it before too. their ear protection suggestions are not jokes, it's REALLY loud, like probably not healthy. i drove a good bit like this before, it's numbing...just hurts you, not the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpholz Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 agreed on gutless. agreed on no damage had my y pipe fall off. PO are always your worst enemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The only damage may be your relationship with your neighbors if you run it too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantes Inferno Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I did this on my legacy and it was even louder than the ea82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
