relative4 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Sorry if this has been covered ad nauseum, but all the threads I've found are 100-page rambles about STi swaps. I'm looking for the simplest possible 6MT swap into my '05 LGT 5MT wagon. Can I just throw in a 6MT from an '08-'09 Spec B and call it a day?

GearJamr Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 From what I have gathered in my own quest, a spec.b 6mt will swap in. However, you need the rear diff, rear axles, driveshaft, and shifter as well. Plus associated mounts. Maybe you meant all of that, and then yes, throw it all in and call it a day. I have heard varying opinions on if a different clutch and flywheel are needed. My plan is to change those anyway once I get everything I need to do the swap. I have also heard the starter can be transferred over. Someone with more knowledge can correct any of this if I am mistaken. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
