Anyone got a Ea81 Wagon Clutch pilot tool.. I'm not sure if the motor I have is any good so I'm going cheap and just puting in a disk. I need to track down a pilot tool so I can get set up..

 

Preferably in seattle? so I can do this here in the next few days?

 

 

This is a 81 so I don't have to do emisions any more.. Is there any benefit to removing the emissions equipment? (Gas Mileage? or more performance?)

 

if so is there a list of things to remove?

Use the search for the emmissions stuff - been covered. Short story - no.

 

EA81? You can just leave the PP loose, and tighten it through the starter hole in the bell-housing. Easier, no need for the pilot tool, and I've had the pilot tools "fail" and spent two hours trying to get the damn engine on. So now I never use them. Don't even own one anymore.

Agreed, clutch alignment tools suck its sooooo much easier with the pp loose. I really hate it when i'm working on a non subaru where you can't do that!

If you have a spare junk tranny sitting round, you can use a torch to cut the input shaft off. It's the perfect alignment tool. I welded a ring onto mine so that I could pull it back out of the disk easier.

True that! That's what I use....countless swaps over the years without one problem. Screw those plastic ones. Use an old shaft....learned that on aircooled VWs!
