#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...
