Re: 5 speed swap issues

The alignment dowels (9 and 3 o'clock)? They're pretty important. Probably got left in the old trans. I'm sure someone could hammer some out of something but I'm sure you could also get some from subaru.

The upper bolt for the starter should go through the starter, then trans, then thread into the block. I think you'll need a longer bolt than what was in the auto. The other one you'll need a helicoil kit for. I don't know where to source one as my swap came with that bit. That will total 2 bolts for the transmission to engine on the top, 2 studs with nuts for the bottom and another shorter one for the starter.
