Wallis_93 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hey guys I've seen some information online about manual swapping an H6 outback. There isn't a whole lot of info so I am hoping to get some help. I'm honestly not sure yet if I'll ever swap it but just thinking on it. Anyway, I found someone selling a wrx 5 speed with the rear differentail, axles, the drive shaft, and the clutch for $700. That seems like a good deal but I'll do some more research to check. I have my cousin who will help me if I decide to do this swap and we both have decent mechanical experience. He's swapped a few engines and transmissions before. Anyway I'm concerned with how the wiring will go if I end up swapping the transmission. I also am not sure what else I'll need. I know I'll probably need a Guage cluster, pedal, clutch parts, etc. If anyone has any help, advice, or input I'd really appreciate it.

subnz Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 From what have heard / read the gen 2 H6 only came with 4 EAT so not sure how easy it is to do a manual conversion. Gen 3 H6 did have a 6MT in Legacy Sedan / wagons in some markets. especially JDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 the AT thing doesn't matter - EZ30's have been installed behind subaru manual transmissions plenty of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallis_93 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I heard that wiring was one of the harder things to do but would a stand alone ecu be best? I thought I saw that somewhere but can't remember. Also trying to figure out all the parts I'd need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
