February 3, 20224 yr I found a 78' Brat Transmission - before I ordered the part I wanted to confirm whether or not it is truly a hi-lo. I need a hi-lo for a swap into my 94 loyale gambler rig. Thanks so much for your help!
February 3, 20224 yr In the USA we got the dual range in 1981. Previous to that you would have a single range. Edited February 3, 20224 yr by moosens
February 15, 20224 yr Will be a single range 4 speed. Least desirable box of all. You want a box from an 85-89 GL wagon which will bolt straight into your loyale. The earlier 4 speed dual range from a Brat is longer and won't fit without a custom tailshaft

Based on this statement will an 85-89 GL box retrofit into a Gen I Brat? Or will there still be a tailshaft mismatch?

On another note, if you're in Corvallis, so are we

The 5 speed dual range is bolt in for a loyale, just need the shifter. Edited May 10, 20223 yr by KiwiGL

See you at the OG Not in a Subaru though, I have a magically transformed '98 Mustang GT, I doubt you'll miss it, it has, uh, personality, lol...

Snorkel, lift, and skidplates incoming!
