I think I got myself into trouble on this one...

 

I just bought an 04 Forester 5MT to replace my tired legacy outback trans, and get the taller 5th gear (both are 4.11 FD).

 

I didn't notice until I got it home, that it doesn't have stub axles coming out of the tranny, with roll pins that hold the axles in, like my current transmission.

 

So am I screwed?

 

or is there an easy work around such as getting some different axles?

 

They went through the axles on the donor foz with a torch when they pulled the trans so that's not on the table.

 

Anything else I should be aware of with the 04 such as different electronics? or spline counts for the clutch?

 

Please help me figure this out. Thanks!

*Update* I found that I can apparently use axle stubs, circlips, and seals from a 6MT to convert my trans to stubbed and use my old female axles.

 

5MT stubs can't be removed from the trans without opening the case as they use a C-clip which needs to be taken off with snap-ring pliers, rather than a circlip like the 6MT which can pop right out... so I'm not doing that.

 

The 6MT stub uses a circlip and goes into the tranny just the same as a male axle. 

 

I'm going to try and source these stubs today, and failing that, go to the parts store and compare axles, see if I can figure out what to use.

 

These are the part numbers for the stub conversion I've come up with, for future ref.

 

Axle stubs: 38415AA110
Seals: 806730042
Circlips: 805329010

 

Any help with finding correct male axles for an 04 forester trans into a 99 OBS would be appreciated, as that's more likely going to be what happens.   

 

*Update*

 

Bought new 05 Impreza male axles.

 

Pulled out one of my current female axles, and measured everything with calipers, as well as matched up the lengths, spline counts, etc.

 

All looks good to go! Its goin down tomorrow.

I love this thread.  Mostly we have folks with questions who are unable/unwilling to figure out the answer.  Nice job at working it out.  Subie axles are very Lego.
