Idasho Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ive read about a few way of going about a 5-speed swap for an EA81 But Im all confused. Right now I have a ea81, '85+ flywheel, and a 5-speed dual range trans. Ive read I can use the 6-spring type 5-speed disc, but do I use the ea81 pressure plate?? What about throwout bearing? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You can use ea82 flywheel and clutch disk, ea82 TOB. EA82 everything. That's how mine is, I have the reverse swap. Ea81 into an ea82 car with dual range. The only problem here is the timing marks on the flywheel are wrong. But just make new ones by finding TDC. Not really a big deal.

tundrabrat Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm doing nearly the same drive train upgrade w/ myea81 and 5spd upgrade, except I went with the Delta cam grind and ea82 pistons. Idasho, your timing is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well, I have the ea81 flywheel. What combo for disc, PP and TOB work with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Pretty sure you have to have the flywheel re-stepped to ea82 specifications (Brain is too tired to remember the correct number ATM), then use ea82 everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
