i found a 1987 gl wagon for sale localy, its white witha blue int.

has a 5spd with a d/r trans. so im assuming that its a carbed car? right?

 

anyway, its pretty clean , needs a bath and some vaccuming, has tinted windows, and 80k on a rebuilt motor. owner says clutch and starter are new, has decent tires, as well as a spare set of wheels and tires also in great shape-hes asking 1,000 dollars, thats about all i know

 

my intentions are to buy it and trade trannies with my push button loyal, and resale it-am i going to loose big bucks here or can i break even?

 

if i could break even and have a d/r in my loyal that would be sweet-thanks-dan

Do you have Pics of it?

no, we just went and looked at it and im contemplating a purchse...havent got far enough for photoes yet

caboobaroo is selling a d/r 5sp tranny in the marketplace right now

oh boy, got a link?

looks like you found it

Caboob's 5spd D/R is a FT4WD D/R out of an RX. A) If going on a non-Turbo car, you need Turbo axles. It has a pathetic low range.

 

Just, FYI.

If it's a local car, it might be SPFI already. The California GL's were SPFI in '87, but none of the rest of the US till '88. He's asking a pretty reasonable amount given the new engine, if it's not rusty. $500 to $1200 is usually what I see. I almost never see the DL's for sale, which is sort of what you are proposing turning it into. Maybe a litttle less than the GL, but most people don't realize the difference between the pushbutton and dual range 4wd.

I'm one of those people . Educate me..please:rolleyes: I have the electric switch on my sedan & wagon, so I only have high range, right? And the dual range has both low & high :-\. Hey I'm right, right? Or not?

I had to edit 'cause the message ended up being about the cost of tranny oil and had nothing I had said in it???

oooh, you are missing out. The low range trannies have a rpm divider on the input shaft, that when actuated, you suddently have 50% more torque from your engine -- nice for pulling out of snowbanks or up steep hills (and 33% less speed, of course)
