86 BRAT Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Has anybody put a 5 speed into a EA81 BRAT mostly stock and can you keep the hi\lo range in doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 There are several board members who have done the 5 spd swap into an EA81. The d/r is part of the trans, so you'd just need to get a d/r 5 spd to keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 its pretty much like this....remove old crap 4 speed....get 5 speed D/R tranny.....hoist tranny into position, bolt to motor, hook up rear driveline if equipped, and recconnect any wiring and speedo cable, and axles of course..and i think that pretty much covers it... ~Josh~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 The 4speed has a one piece driveline The 5speed has a two piece driveline The depending on your needs the year the 4speed may have better gearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 ok,so the trouble i ran into when i installed my 5 spd was,tranny mounts,and positioning .the brackets i fabbed for the tunnel/driveline mounts were east to do once i got my head on straight and was dedicated.if you do it yourself take a couple of days.don't try to rush it.bratsrus1 sells a 5 spd kit.i highly suggest you talk to him about it.oh yeah ,one more thing,you will need the 5spd flywheel.there is a write up on it in the usrm also.
