Forester Motor & Gearbox into Brumby
Hi All,
I've managed to find an old forester manual EJ20 donor car to transfer the running gear into one of my Brumbies.
So it sounds like I should be fairly straight forward (cough), apart from the "custom inner CV joints" mentioned in the sticky thread
Can somebody clarify what that means/how they are made?
I'm sure there will be heaps more questions, but lets start there.

Hehehe. Thanks. I've actually been lurking for a few years on and off, but have finally bitten the bullet as the engine and gearbox in the Brumby seem to be on the way out.
So it sounds like by disassembling the forester, I should be able to do most of it without too many more parts required.
I'm planning to put the dual range box from the forester in, and that means the rear diff as well, from what I read in the sticky thread.
Will the tailshaft just fit for the forester dual range box and rear diff in the Brumby, or does it need to be lengthened/shortened?
The Sticky mentions an EJ AWD needs to be lengthened/shortened, but I assume that's not the same as the old Dual range boxes in the foresters?
Thanks

Hi and Welcome Singularu
You'll need to either lengthen your single piece (not recommend) or fit a 2 piece in there. I personally would get the 2 piece cut down (and rebalanced) to match your Brumby. You will need to fit a centre bearing mount but these are fairly easy to do.Singularo wrote:Will the tailshaft just fit for the forester dual range box and rear diff in the Brumby, or does it need to be lengthened/shortened?
You know you are getting old when the candles on your birthday cake start to cost more than the cake itself.
