That's a Suby AWD trans converted to RWD with 2 parts <!-- emo&:beer2: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)<!-- endemo --> Convertor sleeve: AUD$120.00 Blanking plate: AUD$110.00 If bought together, total price AUD$210.00 Looks like a side shift linkage could be tweaked to work. I just bought a 2005 (EJ25) engine and trans (2000 miles) for the 914 - let the fun begin. I just sent an e-mail to sakercars to check on parts availability.

I did a little reading about Subaru trannys and I've got a few questions for those who know anything about these beasties. 1) Will any tranny that came from an EJ series engine bolt on to any other EJ series engine (in particular from a EJ22 car to a EJ25) ? I know gear ratios and strength come into play, but I'm just asking about the physical fit. 2) Does the manual tranny (5 speed) have any sort of electronic interface, or is it purely a passive mechanical system ? 3) For the auto tranny, it sounds like there is NOT an available part to convert AWD to FWD, right ? So I guess that means finding a FWD tranny. Anybody know what kind of electronic info is required to control these ? I think I read that some Suby trannys have an input to control the shift points based on RPM and pedal stompage. I wouldn't mind coding this in MegaSquirt, but I have no idea what kind of I/O the tranny expects. 4) srbliss : Have you got your conversion parts ? Any comments ? FWIW, my long national EBay nightmare is entering week 8. Supposedly I have a fresh EJ25 engine that has progressed from NY to a loading dock somewhere in Michigan, but I've got serious doubts..... WIsh me luck. |
