Hey Everybody This is Jerry,i got my custom axles today. They are the Ea81 hatch back axles with the 25 splines just right for a turbo 5 speed tranny. I live in Selah Washington and cvaxles.com are in Florida they cost 105 a each without core exchange. The total cost to my door was 234.00 not bad for 2 new axles. The part # is oocvo-oooo custom axle i will be odering at least 4 more of these puppies. Thanks Jerry

so you're putting a turbo 5 speed in an EA-81? I'm looking at doing this with the RX tranny in my hatchback would one of your kits help me any?

Hi JWX This is Jerry, i have a 86 hatch back with the EA81 engine and i am installing a 86 RX 5 speed dual range tranny in it. Yes i am useing my 5 speed kit and the drive line has already been lenghten. I am building a super cruiser to go back and forth to work i put 500 miles a week. I will let everybody know how it works out. Thanks Jerry

so your not using the FT4WD one? cool and keep us updated

Hi Jerry:

 I am installing a D/R 5 speed in place of an AT3 in my 84 wagon, and found this post from 2003 doing a web search for custom axles. How did those axles from cvaxles.com work out as I would order a pair if all was ok. Do you make a transmount for this swap?

 Thank you, Steve

If you are installing a non turbo tranny , you don't need custom axles. The stock manual axles will fit. I don't know if the auto axles are the same.

The 1984 automatic turbo axles are 23 spline, the 1986 turbo D/R 5 speed is 25 spline. Thank you for your reply skishop69

Has anybody ever ordered or used these axles?

Hi This is Jerry,  the guy that made my axles is in Colarado his name is Marshall. Get a hold of Shawn Watson he can let you know the complete details on this guy. Thanks Jerry

Thank you.

For the standard OEM axles I suggest the World Pack Brand. I have heard many good things about them. I got one earlier this year, Have yet to try my axle though. Cause I had a boot blow out on me and the bearings were a bit worn, in the mean time I went ahead and rebooted the old one while waiting for the World Pack to come in, it has yet to fail me for the past 3 K miles anyway.
