Question for those interested in 5 speed swaps
If I were to source and ship you the major components (trans, rear diff, pedals, shifter) how many would be interested/capable of doing the swap themselves?
I've spent a lot of time researching the components at my dealer and know what year cars use what gear ratios. You'd still have to do fabrication/installation yourself. Any interest? I'm tinking I can source the parts above for around $1000. Todd

I intend to do it myself and I think I will spend around $1000 for parts. I think I can do the conversion and I found almost everything I need.
Since you said that you have done some research on the matter could you confirm that a 2002 legacy transmission would fit? I 've got an e-mail like this: "'02 Legacy aren't very good. Subaru decided to re-engineer the flanges on the tranny assembly, making them about 2mm too thick " According to your info sources; does it work? Thanks, Ovidiu |

I'm in. (and Kim bought me a 90 amp mig welder for christmas, heh heh)
What's stopping you from fabbing the mount and modding the pedal assembly to fit. (I still don't know how to use the welder)

I should have some news on my welders shortly. If I get them (MIG and TIG) I'll look at doing the mounts. I don't intend on horning in on Small Car's business. More leaning toward sourcing parts for those who cannot. Todd

While I can't measure an '02 Legacy tranny, I can tell you that the '91 Legacy tranny and the '02 WRX tranny I have in my garage are different, but I'm not too worried. The entire flange is not thicker, but the bolt hole areas are different, some in fact are thicker. My sources give me gear ratios, clutch release types, etc but not if a specific trans will fit on the EG33. Todd

Todd-
I'd be very interested. If you can source all the necessary parts for a grand, you've got smallcar beat by a couple thousand bucks, less shipping. Here's the thing.. I'm not a mechanic, but I can follow instructions. More valuable to me than cheap parts would be a well-written, in-depth, photo-illustrated, step-by-step guide on doing the swap. Coupled with a $1000 swap kit, I'd sell my vdrums in an instant for the cash. -Adam |

Tranny swap
Hey....I'm game! (I never say that during hunting season...)
I have all the mechanical skills necessary....I built a birdhouse from a kit, and made an ashtray in art class once! (well, to be honest, it didn't start OUT being an ashtray..... ) Don

all the parts for 1000? that sounds like a good deal to me.... as soon as i can find someone to install it for me... (no time whatsoever)
just a thought, how long is the drive from madison to utica, maybe i can drive the car over and have it done there?? and fly over to pick it up?? |

It just occurred to me that about a week after the WRX STi ship comes in, they'll probably be available at your local junk yard. So is that 6-speed gonna fit?
