ladysmanfelpz Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 About how much would it cost to throw a 5 spd manual after putting a light weight fly wheel and new clutch on into a 4eat into my 97 lgt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levis76 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Not as much as selling the auto and buying one with a manual. I looked into it, it isn't cheap or easy at all. The auto models use a totally different drivetrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 You are better off selling your car and buying a manual. The cost to convert is not worth it even for an older car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrax Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 okay so ive got a 2000 leg outback i want a 5?6 speed i miss my manual trans my cousin had a manual 99 leg wagon...not sure on the trim but it got totalled cracked the engine block and over half of the trans went in the scrap heap after i scooped it off the road that day. i have yet to see a leg (wagon) with a manual trans. do they make them and how hard would it be to put one in. i like my car.....no i love my car but i want something i can drive with i hate having the auto it takes too much effort and money to make the car do what i want.

It is more work than it is worth to do a swap. You can do it if you really want to... But it is a big project and not at all worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutrax Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 so im getting from the forums numerous threads and also talking to a Subaru dealership senior repair technician that ALL Subaru vehicles are not easily or cheaply modified.....that has to be my only complaint which in reality it less of a complaint and more of a.....idk its not like it matters my outback its great the way it is im just a tweaker i like to change things build things modify that kinda thing. i was previously told that any of the EJ25 series motors would fit my car now ive learned the correct answer is that the difference in some of the motors would actually make the swap impossible and most of the motors would be worth very little because of the amount of money and labor it would take to make the car run correct. i guess i need to be less of a tweaker with my outback and worry more about my bike and my lowrider for something to tweak.

ladysmanfelpz Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 k looking at an 02 impreza ts as we speak. oh and its 5 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 it costs anywhere between $4k and $8k to do an A/T to M/T tranny swap, depending on the tranny you pick and the parts involved. I looked into it for my 5EAT...possibilities are just go IPT tranny rebuild (around $5k) or the swap. but thats not till down the line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
