5 speed compatibility between generations?


Recommended Posts

I have an 1983 gl (ea81/4speed tranny) and was wondering if the 5 speed tranny from an 1989 (ea82) would fit?

I know about the normal modifications for a 5 speed swap. I was mostly wondering if the year difference would affect the swap...

the year difference means nothing, its a normal EA82 tranny transplant behind a EA81 engine. Just an adapter spacer, your choice of clutch pairings, a modified length tailshaft, and gearbox support modifications, as well as getting the gear shift up through the floor pan.
