I have no idea on a 5-speed starter, but I'm willing to bet one is thick from the battery, and one is thin from the ignition switch (to energize the solenoid).

I know the that there are 2 wires one from the ignition and one from the battery, but the starter wire from the battery splits into to seprate wires, and i dont know were one of them goes.

sorry, I thought you meant at the starter.

I think you're gonna give yourself a forehead smack on this one(unless of course I've misunderstood again)...one goes to the starter the other is from the alternator via the fusible link, i.e., the charging wire.

Starter Wire SWAG

My SWAG (sophistical wild a_s) guess) is that it goes to a floor switch to complete the circuit.

Example my 00 Legacy 5speed requires I nearly put the clutch through the floor board to complete the starter circuit.

If you have access to an ohmeter and simple continuity check will tell you what's what.

yeah ....maybe a nuetral safety switch for the automatic. I'm looking at the power distribution and I don't really see anything that splits except for a white wire. Looks like it goes to the alternator and a 45A fuse ............what color's the wire?

See if these help at all:
