There is an 89 FWD turbo wagon for sale locally that I may be interested in. Emailed the seller and he informed me it has the 3-speed automatic which needs replaced. Just doesn't sound right to me. Thinking starting in 88 all the turbo models received the 4EAT. Is the seller correct?

If it's a 2WD it could be - I thought the 4EAT was only on the FT4WD models.

 

I would stay FAR, FAR away from any EA82T with an automatic - especially the 3AT. That's a serious recipe for disaster.

If you want to make it an AWD, I will have a 4EAT, harness, TCU, and matching rear diff available very soon. The trans should be out tomorrow, the rest in the next week or so.
