  1. you should get whatever TOB comes with the clutch you get. the 5MT will not work with the 6MT.
  2. i have the 5mt nss in mine and it works fine.
  3. PM me p/n's if you want and I can update the first post. I said years ago this should have been stickied
  4. best place is subaruparts.com call them though, they're really the Bruce Titus Tacoma Nissian Subaru place and normally have the best prices for getting things, even if from the warehouse (aka not in stock).
  5. you EITHER need a 07+ spec b one OR a 4EAT driveshaft
  6. saw a chick driving an 09 LGT heading towards the south burl hs on kennedy dr tuesday
  7. hey, who's bad mouthing me in here!... just tell me what to fix in what post number and I will. I've been offline as my comp crashed.
  8. When I was doing my swap, I talked to about the only people besides driveshaft shop that may be able to make these (locally) and they looked at the items and said it wasn't really possible, so if it was somehow, it wouldn't be feasible either. Spec Bs are the way to go.
  9. subaruparts.com in WA, they'll take care of you.
  10. Transmission Choice: 2007+ LGT Spec B 6MT, 2004, 2005 STI 6MT $2500 Rear Differential Choice: 2007+ LGT Spec B R180, 2004+ STI R180, <2004 Legacy or you can use a regeared stock R160 as well with stock LGT rear axles $250 Axles: Front - Stock LGT, Rear - 2007+ Spec B or custom Driveshaft Shop Axles $750 Etc: DCCD Controller for STI 6MT $350, 2005+ 2.5i LGT Auto Driveshaft$50-150 (depends on the junkyard, dealer etc), appropriate 6MT flywheel and clutch I picked up a stock STI flywheel for $25 I think, then a SPEC 3+ clutch package for $750 or so I think. Add labor on top of that if you're not doing the job. You'll still need the STI R180. It's not that its an R160 or an R180 but rather the gearing that is important. The STI and Spec B R180 are a 3.9 final drive, which is what is required for the STI swap, so you will not be able to use the outback's stock R180. You may however be able to use the axles, if you do the swap, you can take a picture of the axles and I'll be able to tell for you, I think there is a pic in Hammer's thread from my swap comparing the Spec axles to the stock LGTs.
  11. Yes. yea, sorry, didn't have any shout outs
  12. A little bit more difficult, but still doable. you'll need all of the above parts plus the clutch master cylinder and a new pedal setup (I'm guessing since the brake and clutch are on the same rotating assembly under the dash). will probably also need a new trim piece inside the cabin and shift boot . You'll now also need the 6MT transmission cross braces I would guess.
  13. as requested: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2333430#post2333430 in rough outline, feel free to PM me suggestions and I'll update the thread as not to clutter it
  14. There are basically 2 main options for turning your 5MT into a 6MT. Option #1: Transmission Choice: 2007+ LGT Spec B 6MT, 2004, 2005 STI 6MT Rear Differential Choice: 2007+ LGT Spec B R180, 2004+ STI R180, <2004 Legacy or you can use a regeared stock R160 as well with stock LGT rear axles Axles: Front - Stock LGT, Rear - 2007+ Spec B or custom Driveshaft Shop Axles Option #2: Transmission Choice: 2006+ STI 6MT Rear Differential Choice: Stock LGT R160 Axles: Front - Stock LGT, Rear - Stock LGT Etc: DCCD Controller for STI 6MT, 2005+ 2.5i LGT Auto Driveshaft (for Sedan or Wagon based on what you have currently) or 2007+ Spec B Driveshaft, appropriate 6MT flywheel and clutch, 2005 STI front axle seals (recommended), 6MT shift linkage, 6MT shifter, 6MT shift knob (as a note, most donor sets more than likely won't have a knob as most have been robbed from the junkyards ), 6MT slave cylinder, 6MT clutch fork Quick Pros and Cons to the different components: <2004 Legacy Differential is not going to be a viscous limited slip (CON) 2007 Spec B 6MT does not contain a limited slip front differential (CON) 2006+ STI 6MT has a 1:1 stepper center differential which allows you to use your Stock R160 on the 07+ cars, if you use an 04-05 STI trans.. the GT 5MT came in 2005-2006 4.11FD 2007-2009 5MT 3.90FD (PRO - Cheaper CON - weaker rear diff if using the R160) Helpful links for those with lots of time: Hammer Down's 6MT Swap thread - "the original" NASIOC's Transmission forums P/N's: Spec B Rear Axles - 28421AG03B R180 Rear Axle Seals – 806732200 05 STi 6MT front half shaft seals: L/H 806735240 R/H 806735230 Tail Shaft Seal – 806735210
  15. yes my bad, just flew cross country so was a lil spacey...
  16. the spec b rear axles work with the r180 rear, change the driveshaft mounting plate on the r180 with the one from the r160 and grab a 2.5i driveshaft and you're all set.
  17. Easiest parts to use would be a 2006 STI trans with new STI front axle seals, and an STI clutch and flywheel combination. You'll need a driveshaft from a legacy 2.5i and a controller for the dccd (ie spiiders).

     

    These aren't the parts I used but they'd be the easiest.
