3.0 R question

Alright,

 

So I have the New 3.0 R as well as the 06 LGT.

 

I was thinking, have the made a manual tranny for an H6 and in what models?

 

Only think I was thinking of was an older H6 Outback, or maybe an 06 Outback?? I can't remember the Name, but it was an Outback sedan and had the high ground clearance. Or just thought was any H6 sold in Japan or Europe with a stick or does it now?

 

I thought if I could get a 5 speed for a decent price I would do the swap out. But I am thinking the newer the Subi it came from the better.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

O.K.

 

Found a 3.0 R spec B out of England.

 

Says it comes with a 6-speed. Is this the same 6-speed as in the Spec B we have here?

 

If so I may have answered my own question.

should be the same. but you are gonna need more than a trans sway. you will need axles, a drive shaft, rear diff swap, clutch hydraulic system components, and a ecufor a h6 with a manual trans-somthing that does not exist in the US market.

You just said you like auto when you feel lazy... not feeling lazy anymore?

 

Any 90+ Suby tranny mates to any motor. JDM/EDM Legacy 3.0R is available with 6-speed stock.

 

Yes, you will need new drive shaft, but it's cheap and easily available. I don't know what the final ratio on the 3.0R rear diff is, likely you'll need rear diff as well. Maybe rear axels as well (not sure about front axels). Then shifter, clutch pedal, cluch master cylinder, etc.

 

I just did 6-speed swap into my 5-speed LGT. Very easy with all stock parts available

but it was MT-to-MT swap.

 

ECU should not be a big deal, I believe RomRaider support 3.0R ecu, although not sure about the SI-Drive ones.

 

One important loss would be VDC. I guess it would be next to impossible to get it to work.

 

Would be lots of work but could be interesting combo. The engine would be unleashed from the power hogging slushbox.

 

Maaaaaybe in the future I'd buy Tribeca w/3.6 motor and do 6-speed swap. That would be pretty sweet.

I just might have a test vehicle for you at some point

Cost? Any improvement in MPG?

MPG - too early to tell, I have new engine as well. Besides I don't I ever got more than 20 mpg on the previous powertrain anyway

 

The swap cost me less than ~$3.5k total (would be $2.5k if I didn't install front LSD in the tranny), and that includes EVERYTHING (sans labor, but that I did myself with a buddy). But then I got the setup for a steal.

i would LOVE to see the test where it was proven the drivetrane loss of the auto vs the manual.

 

 

i have yet to see on.

 

all i have seen is ignorance spouted. but NEVER is the different gear ratio brought out. but somehow it has been proven that the auto is quicker when people quit playing with the "bigger" turbos and really step up to the big turbos.

 

so...any time you wanna post proof...PLEASE feel free.
