Gator tackles a persistent driveline noise in his 1982 Toyota KP Starlet, a beloved classic in the world of compact, rear-wheel-drive hatchbacks. Known for its lightweight design and nimble handling, the KP Starlet is a favorite among car enthusiasts, especially when paired with the legendary 4A-GE engine.
The 4A-GE, originally found in models like the AE92 Toyota Levin, is a high-revving 1.6L inline-four engine celebrated for its balance of power and reliability. With a robust 16-valve DOHC configuration, this engine was a significant step forward in Toyota’s engineering, making it a popular choice for swaps in lighter, agile platforms like the Starlet. Gator’s Starlet, powered by this iconic engine, is a perfect example of how to breathe new life into a classic chassis.
In this episode, Gator dives into the mechanical side of his KP Starlet, removing the gearbox for inspection-only to discover it’s not the source of the issue. The real culprit turns out to be the differential, which is promptly swapped out, resolving the annoying noise and getting this little rocket back on the road.
Watch as Gator walks you through the entire process, offering tips and insights that can help anyone tackling similar issues in their own projects. Whether you're a fan of classic Toyotas, interested in 4A-GE swaps, or just love seeing vintage cars being brought back to life, this video is for you!
