April 22, 200619 yr its an 87 or so turbo gl wagon.. its automatic, but it doesn't have a pushbutton for the 4wd.. its a true awd trans... came that way factory.. too bad the tranns is shot..
April 22, 200619 yr I've got a dual range transmission for you with all the goodies. Even the plastic and pedals. Jay
April 22, 200619 yr if it has no pushbutton for the 4wd, then its going to be the 4EAT automatic, which they put in some '88s and more '89s. My'89 RX had one... until I swapped it with a manual RX tranny:D

April 23, 200619 yr However it was introduced midyear. The first build dates for the '87 AWD tranny models were in 12/86 and 1/87. My mom used to have a FT4WD 4EAT turbo GL-10 wagon.
April 23, 200619 yr All the top of the line "Full time 4WD" auto's were the 4EAT. They aren't any more uncommon that other top-of-the-line models. I see em here in the junk yards all the time. In fact the Full Time 4WD manual is much harder to find. Had one in a wasted 88 GL-10 turbo sedan. Offered it to the board with all the wireing and computer and no one wanted it. Crushed it. GD
April 24, 200619 yr Come to think of it...the RX wagon you sold me originally had a FT4WD 4EAT in it too.
April 24, 200619 yr Seems every time I find a pre 90's wagon or sedan GL-10 turbo with MT-5 FT4WD and a diff lock in a junk yard... it still has its LSD...(which I take )
April 24, 200619 yr There's another rare car in a scrapyard in town. Its a '85 RX sedan, still has the LSD in the rear for now. I saw this car over a year ago, the same time I was lookin at buying my '89 RX from another yard. It sucks cause now it sits on a scrap pile with the drivetrain ripped outta it and the body is beat up now...
April 24, 200619 yr Is that the transmission that feeds drive to the rear wheels all at once with a kind of a BANG so you go from snowplow understeer to whiplash oversteer in the blink of an eye? I've got one of those in my '90 wgn.
April 25, 200619 yr Author Jay, we might be talking about that trans, and conversion stuff.... depends on if i end up with the car or not
