3sp Auto to 5sp MT Swap

Featured Replies

As far as I know it should work fine, but if anyone has tips or problems solved please let me know.

 

Car I'm fixing 92 Wagon 1.8 3sp auto trans FWD is bad.

 

Found a 88 GL wagon 1.8 5sp MT FWD

 

I did this swap on a 93 to 92 Legacy but not the older Subarus.

 

Things Needed:

 

Trans and aft mounts

Shifter and trim

Clutch/brake box and pedals

Clutch cable

Clutch Kit

flywheel and bolts

Starter

Speedo cable

 

That should be it as far as I know. I believe the swap is straight forward.

Thanks for the info

pretty much straight forward. 4wd to 4wd. try a 2wd to 4wd, more stuff!

 

the pedal box and clutch cable will come out as a unit

 

you need a DRIVESHAFT, any 5spd will fit, actually its only the front half thats different (5spd is longer)
