Re: Help!!! 5 speed swap!

That will work just fine.

That is exactly what I'm running in mine....

If you plan to be drag racing, it will probably not hold up as well as a WRX one, but will never give you any trouble for day to day driving, even for some spirited driving.

Re: Help!!! 5 speed swap!

the CEL will always be on due to a lack of a diagnostics system for the transmission. But I am with Huck on the tranny

Damn, *another* new Reno person!? I'm freaking out.

Good luck with the swap! Make sure you've got the matching rear end!
