86BRATMAN Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i'm trying to figure out the difference is size betwwn the leg 5mt awd and the ea82 5mt d/r, i think i read that if i was going to do the 5spd swap into the brat with the stock motor i could use the ea82 driveshaft, i think... somebody that has an ea82 trans out could you measure it from bellhousing to end where the d/s goes in, i've been up since 8am yesterday and i'm about to pass out reading the old threads, help me, please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 the EJ 5mt is about 55mm longer than than the EA82 tranny, then if you add the depth of the adapter plate it is another 1/2 inch f'in sweet, so for the full ej swap it would probably be easier for me to grab an ea82 d/s assy and have it shortened and balanced, you sir are a good man, now if only the junk yards were open on sunday...

86BRATMAN Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 looks like the trans housing is beefier as well, they said a little hammering was needed for the ea82 trans swap, its looking like i may have to cut on my tunnel to clear the ej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
