5 speed question
 

how much would a 5 spd cost to put in?

Are you talking about on your own or by a shop?

Shameless plug:o

Nice! You might want to make the wording of the Ebay auction a little clearer. Do you really mean that a driveshaft for a 6spd is included in the price, but one for a 5spd costs $200 more?

-Bill

Price will vary greatly...depending on sevaral things...

#1...Who would be doing the work? you or a shop
#2...what manual tranny are you going to use? (Impreza/Legacy 5-speed, WRX 5 or 6 speed ect.)
#4... what kind of clutch package and flywheel do you want to use?
#5...Custom parts, who is supplying / making them?you, or someone else?


All these can make installing a manual tranny's cost vary greatly.

The link in my sig is from the first documented 5-speed swap, which I did for under $1000...but I did all the fabrication, and labor myself, and bought cheap parts, since I wasn't sure if it would all work or not....but that car is still on the road (swapped in 2001)

So you can do it on the cheap, or you can go all out and spend lots of money, just depends on what you want /or can afford.

Hope this helps...

You use a stock driveshaft for the 6mt silly:p

The 5mt extended driveshaft costs me $200 to have made (not an outback shaft)

Tom,
I honestly didn't know that the stock driveshaft was a "plug-n-play" with the 6spd:cool: :D
-Bill

since im looking for a quick answer :P what RANGE would you find a 6mt of any year in, and likewise for a wrx 5mt?

6mt's alone usually go for about 3k. wrx 02-03 for about 700 and 04+ for $1k

If you get the whole kit and kaboodle from an ebay seller or others expect to pay closer to 4-5k for a 6spd

Do you retain cruise control once you've got to a manual transmission?

If wired properly....and this question is answered in my write up, I'd advise reading though it before doing anything else...in my sig

What Huck said. :)

I will add that if you ground the pin to fool the ECU into thinking the transmission is in neutral you will lose cruise. I wired in a switch to toggle this "feature" at will.
