ronnie johhhnnn Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Does anyone know if a starter from an 87 GL will work in a 93 Loyale? I'm selling one on Ebay and I got a question from someone with a loyale wanting to know if it will work. I have a feeling that it's the same, but I just want to be sure before I tell him "yes". Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Yes - there technically is a difference between Auto vs. Manual, but they are interchangable, and work fine. The only difference is gear speed as one has a reduction and one does not. But it will bolt up and work just fine either way. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Joe Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 It wont work on a 4eat auto tranny. Those are rare but some loyale's have them, mine did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'm aware of the 4EAT - briefly owned one - but I'm not aware of any difference in the starter's - can you be more specific? I think I have the starter from it around here, and I didn't notice any difference. The bell-housing's are the same, so mounting should be the same as well. Is the pinion gear different or something? At any rate, a 93 Loyale will have a 3AT, 5 MT pushbutton 4WD, or a 5MT 2WD, the only cars that got the 4EAT were Turbo 4WD models, and the Loyale only came in turbo for one year - 1990. So a 93 will not have this suspect transmission combination anyway. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure exactly which models came with them, but when shopping for a wagon, I've seen 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 The 4EAT is a Full Time 4WD (fancy term for AWD). It's actually just a legacy trans with an EA bell-housing. I've not personally seen a Full Time 4WD EA series that was not in a turbo car.... but it's possible. I don't know that they made a 2WD 4EAT for the EA series either.... I think they did for the Legacy, but I'm no expert in that department. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
