Are all 86 Subaru GL wagon t-cases dual speed (high/low)?

 

Glad to see the forum back up.

 

Thanks

No, if it has push button 4wd then it's just hi range only. If it's an automatic then it's hi range only

 

Oh for some handy info, the Hi/Lo portion is in the front of the transmission. It's a reduction gear set on the input shaft.

Thats wild, in front of the tranny is hi/low. Good to know.

 

Let me get this correct. If it is a manual trans in will have hi/low?

 

If it is an auto it could have either single speed or hi/low?

No, if it's an auto than it will ONLY have hi range. and some 5spd.s ONLY have hi range. In order for it to be a dual range it MUST HAVE a 2nd shifter. 5spds with only 1 shifter are a single range ( push button) On the older 4spds they can have the 2nd shifter and still be a single range 4wd.

Hope that clears it up for ya;)

gotcha, thanks

What is all involved in converting one from single to dual speed? Do you have to change out the whole trans or is it a seperate part?

You will have to swap out the entire transmission, and install the D/R shift linkage since it is a mechanical link.
