ama0787 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I pref 6 speed also but 5 speed feels really nice with the spt or sti short shifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idiot4hire Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I don't have the swap but I can imagine a 6 speed is way better if you track your car at all the 5speed seems to have long gears. Also at 75 mph in a 5mt your basically redlining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goneskiian Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Anyone else done the swap? What?!? You haven't done it yet? You were asking about it nearly 2 years ago! :lol: I thought all of the 5mt's where now 6mt's and even most of the 5AT's too! :lol: Just kidding.

Also at 75 mph in a 5mt your basically redlining Unfortunately the 6 speed doesn't get you a taller top gear. Unless you get custom gears installed. I think NSFW did that with his.

There are 3 sets of 6th gear you can choose from. The JDM STi is the shortest, next is the USDM STi then the Spec B. I think you will do 60mph at 2300 rpm.

Th3Franz Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm considering doing the 6 speed swap along with my new engine. Engine will support up to 650 HP and 8K red line.. might as well upgrade the drivetrain to match right? lol Are these the axles to get if I want stronger rear than Spec B axles? http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import-axles/subaru-1992-2001-impreza-sti-gc8-except-type-r-ra-500hp-rear-axle-r180-rear -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartm Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have a 06 obxt and I've done the poly bushing and st shifter and I still hate it, I can shift my 88 truck faster. Where abouts is this lachute in Canada? Where would one start on deciding sti or legacy 6mt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
