ok i want to change my baby girl into my baby boy.

in cars that would mean

 

Change An Automatic to a 5 Speed standard.

 

which trans should i use?

i have these this options:

 

Legacy (can get one)

Impreza (would be hard to get)

XT6 (already have)

If you're keeping the EA, the only trans you have listed that will work is the XT6 trans.

Another topic thats been discussed about a million times..use the Search menu 5 spd swap...or go into the USRM there is a complete step by step on how to do it

thanx for the help mike

the xt6 trans will work if you swap the driveshaft and trans mount along with. if you dont have those parts any other 5spd 4wd driveline, mounts or clutch will fit the same.

 

if you have all the parts from the xt you will still need the pedal assembly out of a loyale/gl/dl for the clutch pedal because the xt's mounts differently.

 

the gearing on the xt6 trans is a little taller than the other models in the first gears and the rear diff is 3.9. make sure you have a 3.9 diff to go with(if your car does not already have one)

 

the axles you will need from a turbo 5spd model with a 25 spline. your car has 23 spline axles in front.

 

you would be better off with a dual range 5spd but if you have the parts already have at it! you will need to hardwire the vacuum solenoids for the diff lock using a dpst switch
