It looked like the lower shaft would fit, but I'm not willing to change my differential from 4.11 to 3.9 even if it would work (I didn't measure anything just eyeballing it). It's amazing how similar the ea and ej transmission look on the inside. Is the EJ transmission stronger than the EA? I know t...

I bought a shifter from an 89 loyale, and after working on it all weekend, I couldn't seem to get it to work correctly. It seems that no matter how I set it up, the two shifter interfere with one another. Any tricks? First I tried using the EA shifter but couldn't make it fit without cutting the flo...

I'm looking for the cable to shift the transmission in to lo and hi. The one I bought had the cable cut... I would also need the mounting bracket on the transmission and the interior lever. Any ideas where I could find these items? I'm not having any luck online.

Thanks,

Just finished putting in the new tranny with the 1.59 conversion. I'm not going to lie, I doubted myself for a while, this is the most technical build I have ever done but it worked! Just wanted to thank Alpine Raven for the great write up. This is the forum that initially motivated me to buy a d/r ...

My d/r transmission is from a 2003 foreseter, perhaps the bearing is a different diameter? Anyway, I should have the trans...

Single row bearing (they look the same as the one you posted on page 2). I'm new to transmission and bearing world so I could be wrong. I'm more or less following your post step by step and all the parts look identical. Thanks for helping me with my quest of low gears.

Thanks for the quick response! I have called (and gone) to 4 different bearing places in town (that's about all of them for New Mexico) and they all tell me that this bearing is a hybrid bearing and that they will not have it but to try the dealership. I started emailing some of the names you mentio...

Hey Guys, First post here, and wanted first to thank you for the great forum and write up on this conversion. I have a question if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm having a problem finding the right bearing for the input shaft. When I do a search on63/28/25CC3, the bearing dim...
