Not to sound like an idiot (though sometimes I am), I can't seem to find this writeup. Can one of you point me in the right direction, please?

Anyone reading know anything about "tranny codes"? I guess so we can verify the tranny we are looking at is a WRX 5mt. My friend shipping it I guess is trying to make sure I "don't get ripped off".

just look at the clutch fork. If it sits on a pivot ball, its not a wrx trans, if it rides on a 1/2" shaft, then its a wrx transmission

Don't ALL the turbo trannies ride on a 1/2" shaft?

Good write-up, Tom... I can't wait to get mine 5MT swapped :-)

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done

Hey guys, I know its taboo to piggy back on someone else thread, but I really need some help. If you have a Legacy 5mt complete swap and you want to go to a WRX swap, what do you need to replace in the Legacy swap? And when i said Legacy complete swap I mean including the rear 4.44 LSD rear diff.

Which 5MT Legacy transmission uses a 4.44 fd? US Legacys had 4.11. Is it a turbo GTB transmission from overseas?

If it's a turbo transmission than you're using a hydraulic pull clutch, which is the same set up as the 02-05 WRX transmission. 06+ went to push style slave cylinder.

If it's a US Legacy non turbo transmission, it's a push style (same as 06+ WRX). I think you'll need to change out the clutch. Definitely the slave and fork.. I think.

You'll need to match the transmission final drive to the rear end. You may need the axles from the WRX. You can reuse your pedals (assuming you're going from hydraulic to hydraulic), driveshaft should be the same, mounts are the same. Shifter should be the same but if it's different you should be able to make something work.

What else..

Dunno if this is what you're looking for. You can PM me if you have questions. And stick around, someone should chime in with more knowledge.

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done

Thanks for replying on the thread. All i know about the setup that i have is the tranny is from a late 90's n/a Legacy and it cable driven. The drive-line has been adjusted and the internals of the rear end has a Legacy components in it. I believe its the 4.44 lsd Legacy swap. The new tranny i have is from a 03 WRX turbo model. My pedals was setup for cable. The clutch and flywheel I have in the car now is from a n/a Legacy. I just want to know what i need to do to install the WRX tranny in replacement of the Legacy. Thanks

Got your PM, but I'll keep the info in the thread so it can be looked over and used in the future.

You'll need everything but the modified transmission crossmember and the modified driveshaft. You might be able to get away with using pieces from both shifters.

The 90's Legacy transmission is a push, cable clutch style. The 03 WRX is pull, hydraulic.

So your pedal box needs to be modified to use a hydraulic clutch. You'll need the actual hydraulic components, master, slave, lines, hose and a spot on the firewall to mount everything.

You'll need a new clutch and flywheel to match the transmission.

I believe you can use the factory SVX rear diff with a 03 WRX transmission. The 90 Legacy NA transmission is either 3.90 or 4.11 FD, so the 4.44 rear diff won't work.

I'm sure I'm missing something.. anyone else?

Re: 5mt writeup... Finally done

My big question is, you already have a 5mt that is setup correctly and working, why do you want to swap to a different 5mt? The WRX 5mt is no stronger than the legacy 5mt. You will not get a better final drive as the WRX final is 3.9 and the legacy is most likely 4.1. Also if the legacy 5mt breaks they are still easier to find in good condition than WRX ones.

So again, why exactly do you want to swap from one 5mt to another 5mt?
