wpgspecb Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 If I had the choice, I'd go with the FLSD over a DCCD, especially if I already had an LSCD. But the real question is why not both an LSD and DCCD if you have that opportunity (and a DCCD-capable 6MT). cost would be the initial reason... a front LSD is much cheaper than DCCD or both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER DOWN Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Go front LSD 1st. DCCD can be put in at a late date, without dropping the 6MT. Mike Mileage:331487 Retired/Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpgspecb Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Go front LSD 1st. DCCD can be put in at a late date, without dropping the 6MT. Mike Doesnt the front LSD go in the front diff, and the dccd goes into the center diff after the tranny? Does the transmission need to be dropped for the front LSD ?

HAMMER DOWN Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Yes the 6MT needs to be drop to do the front LSD. DCCD does not, just remove the tail shaft cover & you can access the center diff. and replace with a DCCD.

wrxtacy2003 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Try moving the shifter around while in reverse. That should make them flicker. I noticed that while actually moving in reverse with my hand off the knob, the lights will stay on. HTH. DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I did the 6spd swap Saturday I used the 5spd neutral safety switch and the reverse switch but my reverse lights don't work anyone have any ideas Are you sure you dont have the harnesses backwards? I had the NSS and Reverse switch backwards and the reverse lights were on when it was in neutral:lol: I didnt know until my wife was following and called me to ask if it was normal for my reverse lights to be on while driving.

KCwagon Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I did the 6spd swap Saturday I used the 5spd neutral safety switch and the reverse switch but my reverse lights don't work anyone have any ideas I experienced the same thing. My 6 speed was swapped with both the original NSS and reverse switch. The NSS obviously did not work but the reverse lights did. Recently I switched both the NSS and reverse switches from my 5 speed. Afterwards, the NSS worked great but the reverse lights come on sometimes/randomly. I am wondering if the sensor for the five speed is not completely compatible with the 6 speed. I am now wondering if the reverse switch for the 6 speed should be left intact and only changing out the Neutral Safety Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z0rr0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 for anyone doing an EARLY 04 sti trans, (stubbed axles). mine has always leaked, after further research, not only do you have to remove the stubs, you also have to replace the "sundial" or differential retainer on the sides of the transmission for our male style axles to fit properly. Sundials (retainer differential) 38342AA161 (2) dealer claims same l/r O-rings 806900150 (2) may not be required but ordered to determine. Numbers above for a 2005 STi. Local dealer claims sundial part numbers are the same for '02 through '07 model years. Having the above part numbers should allow a "pinned" '04 US STi to be converted to non-"pinned" and direct fit a STI or LGT front axle. The stub shafts will require removal from the "pinned" transmission's differential. Be sure to review the appropriate Service Manual for installation and adjustment procedures.

lil_z_33 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) i have an 06 GT...local member is selling an 06 sti tranny...if I pick this up, I think I need 4eat rear shaft, r180 diff with matching gearing which would come out of an 06 sti as well I assume? then I would need specb axles in the rear? slave cylinder, 6mt rear tranny mount, and some sort of dccd controller? 5spd nss, 6mt reverse switch. he still has the shifter/linkages all attached...but i need linkage out of a specb or i need to extend by 3/8"? definitely going to run aftermarket clutch/flywheel. any help is appreciated...im not sure how long my stock tranny/motor will last with gt35r at 21psi plus meth...

TNPaparazzi Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Yes you need all of the above.. Except for the DCCD controller, that's optional but recommended. DCCD Pro is amazing.. Linkage from the Spec B is needed. Also, the shifter and reverse cable.. Only PIA part, MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO STUDS ON THE TRANNY.. I've seen other people just take them out and modify it to fit our axles, but it didn't work on my particular transmission.. I had to take '02 WRX inner CV's and frankenstein them to the shafts and outer CV's of the Legacy axles.. They worked but VERY noisy without my DCCD of when it was in full lock.. I will be selling very shortly an entire JDM STi Version 8 swap for $4500..

KCwagon Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1820589 Here's a jdm setup I'm look at .. Please let me know if you I can make it work in the legacy. Input would be appreciated.. The good: *Clutch, slave cylinder are included. * Don't have to mess with a DCCD controller. The not as good: *You will need a new driveshaft (Spec B or auto driveshaft) * I think the hubs are different between the Legacy and Impreza - so the rear hub/knuckle assembly and rear axles may not work or be useless. * The way I am reading the post, the rear differential is included. I assume you will need spec B rear axle shafts for the R 180 to work, which are about $600 for a pair. * You still need a shifter linkage from a spec B Choices: You could sell the r 180 rear end, axles, hubs and knuckles and buy a r 160 rear end so that you could use with your existing Legacy rear axle shafts. You could also see if the vendor could include the shift linkage and just try to make it work with the Legacy. Some have used the STI shift linkage with no problems and others found that the linkage did not line up well in the Legacy. Overall, not a bad price/option - just a little work. The six speed is awesome. You will not be dissapointed with it (after the install is complete, that is) I would also want to know what shape the clutch assembly is in. If it is in "not so good" shape, you would need to factor the price of a new clutch in your swap and do it at the time of your install instead of two months down the road. Hope this helps. And if I am incorrect on any of the info about the hubs, knuckles, rear-end somebody please chime in. I am basing this on my memory which fails every now and then.

TLO03 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I thought/hoped the rear components might bolt right in. The only way I'm gonna get my mind around this is juss do it.. Edited February 24, 2011 by TLO03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
integroid Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 No, the Imprezza and Legacy rear hubs are different. You will need Spec B axles. I think I paid around $600 new for the pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is of course if you want/have to use the r 180 rear diff. I sourced a 3.54 WRX r 160 and the LGT axles were a direct fit. Warning: The r 160 rearend becomes your weak link at that point.

Z0rr0 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 those work only w/ an R180 and legacy hubs. (can be made to work on the impreza swapping the outer CV.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
