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.

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  

the AT thing doesn't matter - EZ30's have been installed behind subaru manual transmissions plenty of times.

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.
