sheppie62 Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 My 85 rx needs a clutch installed, I don't have a manual. Does the trans have to come out like most rear drive cars? I've worked on older bmws, toyotas clutches, but know Subaru does things different. Any tips or suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBrumby Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 You can either drop the tranny or pull the engine. From posts most people prefer to pull the engine so they can do the belts and some gaskets while there at it and also you also dont have to do it all from under the car. I have also heard of people taking out their radiator and pulling the engine forward so theres gap you can work imbertween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88rxsedan Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 How do you convert to rear wheel drive?you have to destroy a set of front axles for the wheel side stubs, then you lock the center diff and go on your merry way.. I however trashed the lock coupler in the tranny and had to weld my differential.. Only do this if your in an area thats got good weather, as the car dosent get much traction at high power levels, even in the dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
