Alright, I'm building a transmission for my brat. Stuff I have: EA82/L series: 23 spline axle stubs, 1.592:1 Low and case from a Part-time 4WD box Drive/driven shafts, 1-5 gears, speedo gear from Full-time 4WD D/R Turbo box EJ: Center diff and housing from a '93 impreza Front ring/pinion shaft from ...

I know exactly what I have. an RX FT4WD D/R trans with a 3.7 axle and .871 5th. I'm not asking about that. I'm buying an EJ D/R from a 1st gen liberty. this is the trans that I'm asking about. all I know is that it's from a 1st gen liberty, and has a 3.9 axle ratio. 1st gen liberty AWD 5MTs have a ....

yea, I need the freeway gears. I'm about 2.5-3 hours from the Twin Cities, where most automotive events occur. and that trip is all at about 125kph. which, with a .871 5th and 3.9 axle gear is like 3700. if i put a WRX .738 5th in there, it'd be turning just above a comfortable 3000. That is a MASSI...

This is strange , all the Subaru factorf WSMs I've seen show L EA82T gearboxes as having the wider ratio gearset (3.545 - 0.87) and the 3.7 final drive ratio . These manuals cover most if not all english speaking countries and they don't quote USDM cars as being particularly different transmission ...

yarg. maybe your EA82 gears are different than ours. that might be the source of the confusion.... FT4WD D/R EA82 boxes were only available with a 3.7 (in the US anyway). This is what I have. it has the .871 5th, and turns horrendously high rpms on the freeway. Zap brought a 3.9 D/R EJ trans to the ...

hmmm....

I do not have it. I do not want to open it up and change anything. just want to know what it has, .783 or .871.

I think we have close/short and wide/tall backwards.....as I'm officially more confused than before. :p PT4WD 5MTs from N/A Ls here in the US have a .780 5th gear and 3.9 axle FT4WD 5MTS with turbo Ls have .871 and 3.7 (this is what I'm running now with my EJ22). this turns horrendously high rpms at...

So, I'm looking into an EJ22 Dual-range gearbox. I know it's a 3.9:1 axle ratio. cable clutch. from a first-gen Liberty. Anyone know what the 1-5 gears would be? I believe I had read somewhere that they might be the same as the FT4WD L-series trans I've got now (.871 5th), which would be horrendous ...
