If by 5spd you mean a wrx's 5sp clutch, then yes it will work in the 6spd, you just need to use the 5mt flywheel too. As for the 07 trans with 05 legacy gt axles, they work just fine. I just installed a 07 6spd two days ago in my 05 LGT, and kept all 4 legacy axles.

Just for for people currently debating on doing this, here is what I paid for parts
$3500 shipped
33,xxx miles 2007 sti 6 speed
- clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder, fork, fork pin, throw out bearing,
- shifter and all linkage
- reverse and neutral light switches and connectors/cables
- all four axles
- driveshaft
$80 picked up locally
2003 wrx 3.54 rear diff 55,xxx miles on car (saw odometer of car it came from)
$100 shipped
*Assembled FROM 4/30/2005 legacy 2.5i 4eat driveshaft
call salvage yards all through out the states, easiest way to get them. Just go to ebay and search 06 legacy driveshaft and then personally call the place that has the listing and you can just offer them what you think is fair and they will all work with you. Mine should have been $140 shipped, but I talked them down.
*note there is a driveshaft assembled PRIOR 4/30/2005. I took a chance assuming the one we need is from 4/30/05-2009 model, so I did not purchase the prior 4/30/05 unit.
Now I can sell the STI clutch assembly, four axles and driveshaft for money back in my pocket! I could even sell my 5speed swap for more cash, but I dealt with putting my wrx back to stock from a 6speed (got WAYYYY more money parting it out), so it is just easier, saves money, and less work to keep my 5 speed stuff.
I'll be doing the swap at the end of the week, and add some info to the thread if needed.

Just to clarify, the auto starter will work? Will a wrx/sti pedal box work? And are we sure that the gauge cluster HAS to be swapped out if we swap out the ecu,ignition,immobilizer for a 5mt one? Also, what about the BIU? Does that have to be swapped out from the donor car as well? Or, is the BIU the same thing as the immobilizer? Thanks.

Try moving the shifter around while in reverse. That should make them flicker. I noticed that while actually moving in reverse with my hand off the knob, the lights will stay on. HTH.
