Hey Subaru Trissi or Rick2019, Looking for info on the 4EAT to 5MT swap. Let me first start with I am trying to do this on my sons 05 LGT with a 5eat (1st Car) and feel I'm mechanically inclined for an older guy.
I have a guy who is parting out his 05 LGT that is a factory 5MT car. Here is the list of parts we started with.
Trans
Diff
Driveline
Pedals
Clutch pp fw
Shifter
Console boot
Cross member/mount etc.
While I have read some posts and watched a few videos from different year cars I can’t get a good sense of the required wiring (splicing).
Additionally, I have discussed with the seller the possibility needing his ECU and wiring loom or harness? The wire splicing part is my biggest concern and potentially be what prevents me from moving forward with the project.
Did either of you have any issues with CEL's or things not working like cruise?
How much splicing was in evolved with you swaps?
Assuming brake petal lockout to clutch switch or bypass. neutral safety switch and maybe something with the speed sensor?
He has a buyer taking the frame and suspension this weekend so if I want to buy parts for the trans swap I need to make my decision soon.
And on an ignorant note of mine, the seller had mentioned the trans is a "5 speed push type which is 10x better than the pull type from 02-05 Wrx that break all the time". Which honestly, I'm not sure what he is referencing?
Thank you for any insight you can provide and sharing your knowledge gained from doing the swap!
