Featured Replies

Hello, I have a 1988 subaru gl wagon auto 4wd, would like to convert to hi lo 5 speed 4wd can it be done and anyone in pdx area that can do this,

Never done it my self,

 

But miles fox has good youtube videos on the auto to manual swap for ea82's.

 

Hope that helps!

There are a few active threads on the subject and billions more in the archives.

 

search "art of subaru maintenance" as the videos, although explaining ea82 maintenance and what not, was taped around an actual at/mt swap being the excuse to make the videos.

 

the best thing you an do is get a donor car for scrap price, and you have all the parts.

 

or you can send me $300 bucks and i have a complete swap setup all the way over here in wisconsin.

 

yes, it can be done easily with no modifications, 100% bolt-on (in an already 4wd car) or with a few mods going from 2wd to 4wd
