mightGETaSUBARU Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I have a 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback wagon that has an auto in it now, I have a friend with a wreck 1996 wagon with a 5 spd... the car he has runs and drives great (and has a wrx turbo engine in it) anyways how much trouble will it be to go 5 spd in my current car?

MilesFox Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The trouble is more to do with getting all the associated parts at once than the actual work. Youwillwant to veryify the rear diff ratio as a 5spd is going tobe a 3.9. You will need a 3.9 rear diff, the driveshaft, trans mount, and pedal/clutch assembly. It has been done lots of times and and the search function should find you some answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 You can read over my awd & 5spd swap to get an idea of what's all involved. You won't need to worry about the AWD swap parts, just the 5spd parts. http://www.surrealmirage.com/subaru/swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
