fredrik94087 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I wish we had those types of meets here in Barbados. I wish we had them in the Silly Valley. The heart of technology in the US can't seem to be home to tuners nor vendors...just home to a bunch of high tech folks who come over on a work visa, drive up home prices, don't know some common on-road courtesy, and chew with their mouths open.

Noise/whine-levels @ cruise and under acceleration and WOT; powha levels (especially mid-range torque and peak horzepowha). Car looks great and the color-matched lip works perfect on CWB.

fredrik94087 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Contacted Garage One in Mountain View WRT a 6mt swap for my 3.6R. reeg420 found some useful initial information as far as the 5eat being used in the 4th getn 2.5lgt as well as the tribeca 3.6. Going on the "dreaming" assumption that they will bolt up, I wanted to know if it could be done. They have done a 2004 forester auto to a manual swap. We would need a wiring harness and computer...so a 2012 may do, but my motor is a 3.6 not a 2.5 turbo. Next question was possibility of a standalone computer. It may work, but it would not be smog legal. There was something about the ABS and a few other under the hood components that would need to be swapped. He patiently spoke with me in a 15-20 minute conversation. He didn't say NO, but I will need to do some more investigating. Not sure where to go from here.

reeg420 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Woah. Just what I was afraid of. Getting electronics to work. Pcm must be getting alot of info from a tcm on the 5eat. Did read about a specB 3.0 6 speed on an Aussie site. Not sure if it was brought to the US. Still a wiring mess though. Makes me giddy and want to see pinouts. Love wiring.

I e-mailed Rob at AMR to see if he has any insight as I have heard of a 3.6R swap into an STI. Not sure what tranny was being used.

mattg Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 6MT 3.6R would be dreamy. The 5EAT is the main thing that limits me to liking my OB instead of loving it. Although the ideal trans in this car would probably be a dual clutch auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 5speed auto could stay in gear and downshift at slightly higher rpm I wouldnt mind it.

mattg Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 It shifts too slow, the TC is rubbery and likes to hunt around too much and mine likes to slam into 1st gear when slowing to a stop from time to time which really pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFCConspiracy Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yep. Worst for me was 1978 chevy chevette 3 speed. If the 5speed auto could stay in gear and downshift at slightly higher rpm I wouldnt mind it. Well for example it's better than the Subaru 4 speed automatic that I had in my Impreza wagon. It's better than the Mini Cooper CVT and the CVT in the 2.5i. It's definitely better than the auto in my dad's CTS as far as being willing to actually down shift when it needs to. And the paddles are pretty useful, two pulls when you're going around 45 and you're in 2nd and about to to be slammed into your seat by the 3.6-rocket and will be going 70 in a few seconds. What annoys me is jumping from 2nd straight to 4th sometimes, and again not holding at high RPM in a gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Once 5EAT is tuned... It feels nothing like what it does from the factory... I'm happy with is after tune, look to my 3.6 tune thread. And, mind you, this is the first AT car in my life... I was always manual transmission person for over 20years... Get it nicely tuned, and believe you will be much happier it is actually pretty good mechanical unit with shitty soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeg420 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well I've seen the opposite. A shop here in Boise was the first to fit an H6 in a 08+sti Wonder what ecu they used to run it. Been thinking, after unplugging all things 5eat which would be alot more than the 6mt which should have a speed sensor and reverse gear sensor wire. Both should be able to get tapped into whatever equivalent wire in the 5eat harness. There would be a shitload of CELs. A tuner should be able to turn off codes from ever coming up. After that car might run since the 6mt is all mechanical. You want second gear my hand puts it in second. In the 5eat there is alot more, valve bodies shutting off and another opening building pressures where they need to be to shift gears smoothly. Just a hunch really cuz if the CELs are turned off the car wouldn't go into limp mode and should drive. Unless ecu gets jammed up cuz no tcu hooked up. Do we have wiring schematics of both trannys? Curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The schematics should be in the FSM, correct? Also will need to delete the paddle shifters.

Wouldn't you also need some way for the car to know the clutch is engaged to start it (The same way it requires the car to be in N or P to start) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
