SubaruRichie Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I came across this gem today when I was helping my grandfather cut down some tree at his friends house. Started talking to the guy about my brat and he asked me if I wanted his 86 GL-10 turbo wagon 4x4 . Only problem is it has a bad tranny. It has been sitting since 97. Body is in good shape. Just covered with leaves and spiderwebs. I just have to go and get it with the trailer. Now I just need to get a new tranny for it. Any body know where I can find a good automatic transmission at? Any help would be appeciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubaSkeet Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Don't go for the autos, since they suck. completely. i mean, you can if you want, but if you wanna off road at all its definitely manual all the way. you can post what you want in the marketplace board, either way. there are tons of subageeks up in northern west coast so youre probably covered in the tranny dept. you can even get help from them to put it in, im sure. good luck, skeet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Awsome find!! Got mine free too, take a good look at the wiring. Mine had been sitting for a couple of years and mice got into it. I vote ditch the autocrapper and get a real trans. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideyz Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I have an 89 turbo with a bad motor and a good auto tranny. If you want the tranny, take the whole car - free. Then you'll have a parts car too. I'm in the east Bay Area, about 4 hours from paso robles. PM me if interested. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruRichie Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hi Keith , I am interested in the wagon. Always could use a good parts car. Do you have the title? Besides the motor what else is wrong with it? Let me know and we can set something up. Thanks, Richard. I have an 89 turbo with a bad motor and a good auto tranny.

theDirtyRue Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Wow this kid is getting lucky! I wish people would just offer me subrus at random. I also wish I had a place to keep them all! Good luck with getting at least one to run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruRichie Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 Kid! I am a little older than you. And, it is taking work to find a place to keep these too. But I hope it will be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDirtyRue Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Sorry abaout the "kid" thing, guess I meant "guy". Well anyway, good luck with the cars, hope you get at least ONE good runner out of both of them! Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 lol for me I am sorta the magnet for free or almost free cars like a 1978 FE coupe, the 76, and a 83 GL wagon (parts) cheap the other 83 that is my car for non subies a 79 ford f100 and a dodge d100 in fact the dodge was traded for the 76 but gotta love those freebies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spideyz Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Looks like SubaruRichie might be taking the wagon. I'll be happy that my GL-10 goes to someone on the board who can use it for parts or get it going again. I still would like to try to pull the rear discs for my Brat, so maybe we'll work something out. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruRichie Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Yeah I want to go get it this weekend but, I would like to get it complete. I am thinking of just replacing the engine in it. Try to get it back on the road. Hopefully spideyz will be ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
