What else would I need to use this for a 5 speed swap?
https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/5603998430.html
2003 Subaru Legacy Wagon 5spd. I am fairly sure this would work for a 5 speed swap but what else I need to do it? I don't know if this is an ideal trans for it, but everything seems to be there and it has a new clutch. Seems like a good deal if you are trying to do the swap on a limited budget. |

That will get you most everything you need....still will need some fabrication with the driveshaft, and the pedals...and a stronger clutch and pressure plate would be a good ideal...

I was hoping to get by on the clutch seeing as the one in there is fairly new.
Does anyone know anyone who does the swaps that is in Eastern PA? I may just keep my 4.44 but I am considering this right now. |

If you just use it as a driver, and not hard launches, the fresh stock clutch will work OK, but won't handle a lot of abuse.

Re: What else would I need to use this for a 5 speed swap?
I don't mean to hijack your thread, but since you asked who does the swaps on the east coast, there is an issue that needs to be brought up.
The member who fabricated many of the 5-speed swaps has chosen to stop producing these parts. I have asked about purchasing any jigs or templates so that I could continue providing parts for the community, but the member has never directly responded to those requests. I have searched around for a good set of instructions on how to modify the pedals (the most difficult part of the swap), but there isn't a lot of good information out there. The most helpful response I got from the previous vendor was, "Just look at the AT & MT pedal boxes, it will be obvious what needs to be modified." Does anyone have photos of a modified hydro clutch pedal box modified to fit the SVX? |
