I am looking for a transmission for my wagon, and just going by year 1982 is a little too old for the used parts places. What other models did that transmission come in? Did Subaru put it something a litlle more recent? Any help would be appriciated.

Anyone?

Its Wikipedia, so you can never be completely certain of the information.

Thats kinda why I was asking here, I was hoping to find someone who has actually had experience dealing with swaping like transmissions between years.

the info there looks proper for some regions of the world...

 

in the US:

 

81 and 82 GL 4WDs had a shorter 3rd gear which is better if you're lifted, however, that version also used a 200mm clutch.

 

the 83+ 4 speed D/R used a 225mm clutch and larger throwout bearing

 

you can swap the larger clutch and TO bearing onto the older transmission, as long as you get the proper bearing holder...

 

the 83+ 4 speed D/R is found in:

 

83-87 Brat (possibly the '82) as I think theres a question around that)

83-84 wagons. (maybe not all 83's. not sure if it's tied to whether or not it had vented front discs or not)

83-89 Hatchbacks

 

I think there may have been a sedan that got a D/R too... just '84 maybe as an option...???

 

if you are needing parts, your best bet, is an import only parts specialist, or someone on the board... Contact ShawnW @RetroRoo

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
