Finally found the procedure for adjusting the one shifter cable. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

This fill up, I did my now normal 12 gallon fill up and decided to run it down to the light and see how many miles I got. I've never got 300 miles to a tank in the winter easily, never mind starting with a full tank. Also to note, my average speed was between 75-80 with a 2 or 3 blasts to the century mark. Again, for me it's worth every penny doing this. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

@k00laid83 It's an open front diff trans, same as the 5spd. My LGT, came with an LSD rear stock. Everything works as it should. @tocinoman25 I'm also assuming under 400/400 should be acceptable. What few threads I've read seems to be where they are at. There is a guy local to me that is tuned at 325/360 at the wheels. Been there for years according to him with zero issues. @Pleides This trans swap is something I'd recommend for a DD or even a spirited weekend warrior on a stockish setup. If your planning on making some very decent power and really plan on using it all.. all of the time, then I'd do STi swap route. It's a stronger transmission by design. Like I said, in situation it wasn't monetary feasible nor wise in case crap happens. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

They look identical to yours except that one end. The reason I say impossible to put on backwards is because of the rubber accordian boots at the end. Those are always on the outside. I went to the dealer, I have to buy a whole new cable, they don't sell just end piece. I also forgot to ask about the cable adjustment procedure.. SMH I looked up the cable everywhere else and that one end is the same as yours. It must be a design update and just never changed the P/N. When I get the new cable installed I'll take pics of the one I have. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Impossible to install backwards. The shifter is exact same as mine. Must be a design change on the cable end. Of course I didn't take any pictures of my shifter stuff.. =/ Thanx though! I'll be stopping at my local subaru dealership and be asking questions.. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

The black ended cable is the one I had an issue with. It doesn't look like that. Mines from a 15, must be a design change. Mine looks like a plastic ball socket with a bushing inside. The bushing inside mine doesn't seem right to me hence the question and probably the source of my issue. Can you also snap a picture if the end of the shifter where that black end attaches? I wonder if that's different too. From what reading I've done, it looks like it's a 15-17 then 18-20 split as far as parts go. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Thanx for the "honorable" mention. That case design is very strange.. it looks more robust at the bell housing area. If you can, can you please snap a picture of the inside of the crossover cable where it attaches to the shifter. Soo... the TSK3 kit does infact fit the 15+ WRX 6mt. I have the snout piece from my old 5mt, couldn't find a replacement bearing back when I did my clutch before the swap. The 15+ WRX 6mt case is exactly identical to our old 5mt. EVERYTHING bolts on to it like how it is on the 5mt. It's literally the last 3rd of the trans that's different. Axles spline properly, mounts line up properly. It's exactly as I described it, the easiest 6mt swap you'll do. Here's a link to my thread in the transmission section. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/topic?url=https%3A%2F%2Flegacygt%2Ecom%2Fforums%2Fshowthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D287486&share_tid=287486&share_fid=5383&share_type=t&link_source=app Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

There are alot of things/factors that effect fuel economy. Filters, plugs/wires/coil boots, plugged catalytic converters, lazy O² sensors, etc.. etc... I did read that later year WRX 6mt or even Crosstrek 6mt come with 4.44 FD. Something to look into.. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

@xt2005bonbon 100% highway driving, my car would see 25mpg on the read out. Those trips were with the 5mt and stock flywheel/clutch setup. I'll be making that same all highway trip this April. @Febreze Mee I'm suprised your NA OB doesn't get better mileage! I have a friend that had an NA Legacy and his wife routinely sees 27mpg in it! As far as cruise control is concerned, most are designed to keep you at speed without incurring a speed loss. When we feather it, we lose a little speed, but gain it back on the other side of the hill. The ECM doesn't know that. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

As far as I can tell.. nothing is wrong. Then again, I don't have another set to compare to. I suspect the issue is the cable end where it snaps onto the shifter. There is a grommet in the socket, but to me, it doesn't seem right. When I have time to get to the dealership, I'll research it more. Thankfully as a tow truck operator, I tend to get friendly with service and parts departments.... LOL. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

2½ weeks in... Had a shifter cable come disconnected from the shifter. When I got the shifter assembly, this one particular cable was disconnected from the shifter. Upon install to the car, I reconnected it and had no issues till it randomly disconnected on an upshift. Reassembled just before the blizzard and have since did a ghetto zip tie mod to keep the cable attached in case it happens again. When I get time, I'll run to the dealer and see if I can get just the cable end, or if I have to buy the whole cable. The mileage is from a 12 gallon fuel and drive throughout. 4 solid days of driving is something this car does in warmer weather, not the winter. My computed average is typically in the 18-20 mpg range. However I must add that partially is also the effect from a lightweight flywheel. My running theory on that is less rotational mass on the engine, less throttle used to accelerate. Either way, it's definitely a bonus. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

The thing about Bilsteins is that they are OE on alot of vehicles and last tens of thousands of miles. I've never driven on Koni nor have heard of any longevity. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

You mean the Spec.B top hats? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Engine RPM is solely based on crankshaft speed. My average driving speed on the highway is 75-80. There is a definite rpm drop and is noticeable as far as fuel mileage goes. If you look over at the 6MT master swap thread, you'll see someone comparing an 05 STi 6MT to the old 5MT and complaining about the same rpm drop. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I know my speedometer is off by a few MPH, on average about 2mph. I'm chalking it up to old age.. 17 year old car and 252k miles on it, I mean sensors and stepper motors do lose their calibrations so.... Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Post #2557 is where I linked my post here. I was trying to not take away from all of the STi 6mt talk here, but I guess it's turning into an all 6mt talk now. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Honestly, I tend to skip gears. Usually getting on the highway I blast away with 3rd up to about 4.5k, shift 4th till I hit about 75mph then skip right to 5th and everything is happy, no lugging or anything. Around town I typically keep it in 4th or 5th depending on the road and traffic. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

After a week of driving there are a couple key notes per se'.... 1. The gearing is way more linear I guess I can express it that way. The rpm drop between gears isn't large, so it really keeps the car in its power band. 2. Fuel mileage is noticeable and increased. Until I have my tank replaced, I can't give exact numbers. 3. The shifting is real good for a cable setup. It's not as mechanical/bolt action slide perfect, but it's close and feels good. It's definitely smoother IMO. 4. Reverse takes some getting used too. I'm used to reverse being over by first gear, like a getrag, tremec, or even like GM's T56. Overall, I'd do this again and again. Price wise, parts commonality, can't beat it on a budget or a very high mileage car with little residual value. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Keep us updated. More options are always a plus! Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I picked up a set of H&R springs. It seems most people run Konis with them. Has anyone ran Bilsteins with them?? My car is a DD that sees atleast 60 miles/day. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I'm sure the lengths won't be an issue. The ends, I can't guarantee if they'll work without knowing what the 10-12 LGT trans looks like. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Would the pictures I put up help? I can send you the originals on my phone if that'll help. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Please chime back with info. I'm also curious as well.. the power goal I want to be at I know is more than doable on this trans. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I'm not the first. AFAIK, I'm like one of a handful that have done it. Probably first with a comprehensive write up.. there are a few posts about it, but not comprehensive enough to actually work with. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk
