Thanks to the people of this forum, my Brat went down the road today with 5 forward gears. I got the 86 Brat from a friend for a song and a dance with a smoked clutch and no first gear. Then I found a 87 GL 3dr 5sp d/r in a bone yard and bought the whole car, thinking easy trans switch and away we go. Well after reading, searching, reading alot more and asking questions here on this site, I have moved the trans, driveshaft, shifters, console and seats from the 3dr to my Brat. Used the ea82 clutch disk and throwout bearing with the brat flywheel and pressure plate. Built a carrier bearing mount and replaced the nonreplacable rear U-joint with a Rockford 430-10 that a local drive shaft place had on their self. Used the ea82 header-Y pipe with a cat that seems to be hollow, because it has larger dia. pipes than the Brat had. Now that the drivetrain seems to be working just fine, its time to tackle the body. A little rust a couple of dings and a coat of paint. I think it will be great little Ride.

Thanks again for all your help.
