Here i will list the parts you need for a manual 5speed swap on your 2005-2009 legacy auto

 

Note: THIS IS ONLY FOR A 5 SPEED SWAP (6 speed is a different swap)

 

First off: it might be cheeper to just sell your auto and buy a manual. But if you really want to og the hard way then im here to help.

 

Parts needed:

Manual tranny for male front axles (great if you can get one out of a legacy 4th gen)

Driveshaft (you will need a manual 4th gen driveshaft since the auto shaft is shorter)

Rear diff from a manual (make shure its the right ratio for your tranny)

Rear axles for the bigger diff (only needed if you get the bigger diff with your tranny) (picture of a axle for the bigger diff below)

Flywheel (make shure its for the right clutch)

Clutch (make shure its for the right flywheel)

Clutch master cylinder

Clutch slave cylinder (make shure its for the right tranny)

Clutch pedal box (best to get out of a 4th gen, not all bolts line up on older pedal boxes)

Manual shifter trim piece

Shifter bushing

Shifter bracket

Shifter linkage

 

(I might be forgeting something so i will update this thread)

For any additional info feel free to PM me

Does the MT just bolt right up? Or are there adapters or modifications needed?

 

 

 

Bolts right up like butter

I would recommend the 6speed all day, its more expensive than the 5speed but way way more reliable and fun (especially if you get a dccd one). I just swapped my 4th gen today from a 4eat to a 5speed and its not that hard

Hi, i have a 2005 legacy. It has a 4 speed automatic transmission, i want to put a 5 speed manual out of a 98 impreza. I know that there isn’t a speed sensor on 4th gen tranny’s so i need to plug that hole, how do i do all the other electrical stuff to drive the car. Best regards, Tristan
