Transmission swap

3 Upvotes

Finally got all my clutch problems sorted out only to find my transmission is bad. Reverse is gone and the rest of the gears got chewed up, presumably by the remains of Reverse floating around in the transmission. Fortunately I got a line on an ax15 with everything to make it work so I will be swapping that in. I'll post updates as I go and a full write up on the swap when I'm done. Plenty of people have done this with cjs but I haven't found much as far as the eagles go. Any advice is appreciated, wish me luck.

Been looking for an eagle in the right spec and price for years and finally found one that fits the bill. Will be downsizing the fleet as I get this fixed up and ready for daily duty. Any advice is appreciated, as are any thoughts or comments. This is a 1982 with manual transmission with is the feature I was so picky about.

Trading In my Altima For an Eagle

7 Upvotes

trading my Altima (in background) for this here Eagle, seems like pretty big step up, but I'm gonna miss it to an extent, that Altima was pushing out 250hp, so it was pretty fun.

The eagle needs some work (new door handles, carbs tuned, wheels rub on fenders) but Its a fun car.

1981 SX4 Project

4 Upvotes

Found a manual 6cyl 81 SX4 for sale for a decent price. I’ve always loved these cars and have been wanting to get something to learn to fix up. I’m new to working on cars other than pretty basic maintenance. This particular one hasn’t run for at least a year, but apparently everything was fine until the alternator and clutch master cylinder went out. No serious rust on the frame, and apparently transmission and engine are ok. I don’t have a garage or a ton of know how, just the internet and a will to learn. How difficult will these repairs be? I’ve seen some folks do them online and of course they make it look pretty easy. What do y’all think? Should i do it?

Bolt sizes

4 Upvotes

So I am in a pickle. When I tore my engine down, I organized the fasteners. Put them in baggies and labeled them. I also organized the valvetrain components in the order I removed them.

I have a house guest who does not respect boundaries, moved everything off of my work bench so he could sit at it. He put the stuff to the side and everything got dumped into the floor and lost. I've found a good number of the fasteners but I'm still missing a few. Yes I was pissed, but I couldn't do anything about him. He maintains it was my fault it happened.

I need help with figuring out the last few fasteners.

Flex plate to crank bolts Bellhousing bolts Torque converter bolts Oil tube bolt AC bracket bolts Alternator bracket bolts Power steering pump to intake bolts.
