I bought a dual range tranny for my gl turbo almost a year and a half ago. Since then I have been collecting the equipment needed for the swap. A friend of mine had the auto trans go out in his gl-10 turbo. So, this saturday we got together and swapped my tranny into his car and put the dual range in mine. In all I had to change the clutch (old one was worn), shifters, half shafts, and rear. After nine hours we had it all done and now my car can go anywhere. I'm psyched. He's happy to have his car back so that he can stop driving his fuel hog truck. he might even sell the truck to get rid of the payment. All in all it was a very busy day, but the payoff has been worth it.

way to go! I cant wait to swap a 5 speed into my 83. I hate subaru automatics.

It doesn't get any better than the D/R. Now you can go anywhere in 4wd until you get stuck, and then drop it into 4lo and get yourself out.

so what parts did you need to aquire in order to do the auto-5spd swap?

 

someone at another subaru site wants to do one this upcoming spring and asked me if i knew what other items he needs.
