TbirdMan Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I am able to get my hands on everything i need from an outback to do a 5mt swap, but I can't seem to find a really good how-to or even a definitive parts list, am I missing something? As far as I can find I need:-Transmission-Rear Differential-Drive shaft-Shift Linkage-Full Pedal Assembly-Clutch Master Cylinder-Slave Cylinder-Clutch Lines-Flywheel/ clutch/ pilot bearing/ throwout bearingand I am unsure of the following:-Transmission Cross Member, I have been told it should be the same? also, exactly what modifications do I need to make to the electronics?

subikid90 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Wiring you will need to ground out pin 81. Also wire the neutral safety switch and reverse lights.

whos_that_guy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 i just got done doing this to a 90 nissan 300zx, still havent gotten around to electronics parts yet but it runs and drives, i installed a push button to bypass the safey neutral switch. i think the hardest part of the swap was doing the Pedal Assembly not enough room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 What about ABS? Will the 1999 Auto ABS unit be able to work with modifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whos_that_guy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 o.0 what does the ABS have anything to do with the transmission swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 The Subaru Auto ABS receives a signal from the TCU, removing the signal trips the ABS light and turns off the ABS. From what i can tell, if you leave the TCU in place and ground the proper wires to "fool" the TCU into thinking all is normal the ABS will still work.

whos_that_guy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 was trying to help out since i already do have the exp. doing a 5speed swap, but i always thought the ABS system was a whole different system, never knew it had anything to do with the transmission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 On 2wd cars it usually is, but on our AWD cars the ABS can cause issues with the AWD system so there is usually either specific programming for the ABS system or some sort of connection between the ABS and AWD.

Frogg Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Good to know this is do-able but you guys think it's easier to just buy a 5spd? I am looking for one but they are marked up about 1500 more than autos.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking for one but they are marked up about 1500 more than autos.... They are hard to find. And when you do find them they are marked up with high miles. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
