The unthinkable 4eat conversion 87 GL-10

Featured Replies

a guy on subaruxt.com installed an EJ 4EAT into an older generation XT 4EAT and retained the original TCU.  he swapped bellhousings and wired it in.

 

Yeah, I did that in my old Turbo GL.  3.9 legacy 4eat running from the 3.7 EA TCU.

 

Had to modify the shifter to get first, and even then had to go to second, hit the "1st hold" button, then move the lever to first or I would get not TC lockup for downhill crawl engine braking in first.

 

otherwise worked fine.

great, so the wiring was straight forward? 

wanted to know that for more trans options years ago but with everything rusting away out here it's almost unnecessary now and my current XT6 is manual though i'd prefer auto.  I see maybe one older generation Subaru a month...if that.
