Scooby2.5 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Yes they will!!!!! Ill post a pic here in a bit You just have to take the console out and look at the underside of this area. There are some things on the underside but just enough space to put them there. I measured a dozen times and then cut the holes with a dremel after covering the area with duct tape. Pulled tape off and they snapped right into place I measured the back side of the STI switches, and maybe even traced around them with a pencil and then cut. If you do it right they snap right in the holes. Just be careful where you cut the holes. Make sure you look at the back of the console first as there is stuff back there. They barely fit and you have to be precise. Good luck! Here is some information I had after doing the DCCD switches. Not inclusive so make sure you MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE The hole closest to the brake lever, had to be 1 1/4 inches to the right of the brake lever because of stuff underneath. Then I had to worry about the space above them because of the roll top door on the cup holders. When I cut it with the dremel and pushed the first switch in, it was right up against the stuff underneath that was 1 1/4 in. I barely got it right.

Scooby2.5 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) A really good piece to get is the hanger that bolts to the 6 speed for the down pipe. It's listed in NSFW OP but here it is Downpipe support bracket - 44021FE030 Edited May 31, 2013 by Scooby2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxiboy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 NVM, it is for both. I have to check if it is attached to the tranny when I swing by Andrewtech later, otherwise I have to order it. Good thing it is cheap. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxiboy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 So it is done! 08+ STi shifter perfectly centered http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x6/Lukipooh/IMAG0068.jpg I went a different route on the rubber and leather boot. Instead of cutting it by 1" like how hammerdown did, I lengthened the cross slit on top by an inch to get both through the shifter. I secured the rubber boot with zip tie and the leather boot with silicone band (for cooking) from the inside. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x6/Lukipooh/IMAG0065.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Your stick looks short, did you change anything, like put in a kartboy stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxiboy Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Nope, that is stock 08+ STi. Now makes me wonder if the 08+ STi has a shorter stick than the 07+ Spec B Anyway, I am glad it came out the way it did. DCCD will come in next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxiboy Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Here's a chart made by Rallispec on various 6MT & 5MT cases. Hope this helps future 6MT swappers.Transmission ID Chart_Public.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Anyone know much about the 6mt on the newer Legacy? Same FD as our 5mt, based on the chart above. Do they fit easier then other 6mt setup, and are they considered as robust?

frank_ster Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 ^ aprently it's like a 5 mt with an added gear It's less noisy than the sti 6 mt but also less strong iirc Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 So we're in agreement to simply merge all of these three (if I missed one, let me know) 6MT threads into one. Will do first thing tomorrow morning unless there's some concerned pushback from the OPs. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxiboy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 DCCDPro is in http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x6/Lukipooh/IMAG0071.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Okay - This thread now contains the merged elements of the three main 6MT swap threads. This is still stickied so make sure you re-sub here if you were subbed to one of the other one. Redirects do not carry-through the merge process. Carry-on smartly. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chameleon Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 DCCDPro is in I'm jealous ... mine is hanging out with Canada Post ... should be in soon. I didn't get any fancy switches though ... what made you decide on using them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) That is the factory switches for an STI. DCCDpro will include them with their product if you decide to get them. Looks good Wax, great job! Wasn't too bad was it cutting the holes and putting them there? Edited June 21, 2013 by Scooby2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxiboy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Looks good Wax, great job! Wasn't too bad was it cutting the holes and putting them there was it? Thanks. I made a template on a cardboard to line both switches as close as possible. The hole I made was a bit small so the switches are really tight. I might file them down a bit more to make a better alignment (kinda slanted a bit). The TPS tap I think is the most challenging. There are a bunch of wires in there and it was pretty hard to isolate the yellow/red for the tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
