Wanting to convert my 97 legacy outback limited. Found a 95 manual legacy for $400. Plus my lift kit will be here in 3 days 👍 lots of work but worth it I think.

Hey mate. I’m converting my 01 GT Forester to manual and I’m just wondering where you found out about the wiring of the auto plug in your legacy. I can’t seem to find much for the Foresters anywhere. Cheers

Has anyone swapped a loyale 5 speed transmission into a early 90s Subaru outback? Im going to be buying a long travel kit for an outback but I like my 4 by 4 loyale transmission.

Vehicle speed sensor simulator; you can trick the ecu for those folks that want to run a different transmission. Enginewiring.com solves that.

I’m 19 and plan on manual swapping my 98 Legacy wagon don’t have the knowledge or tools to do it yet lol but I’ll come back to this comment when I get my first action on it haha

What kind of manual transmission do you think I should look for in order to replace the automatic transmission in my 2004 Forester 2.5X?

Hey bud I have a question. I’m swapping a motor from a auto into a standard . I noticed the tone wheel for the crank sensor is notched different . Im using the original tone wheel from the “new “engine . What are your thoughts ? Which one would you use . I’m somewhat thinking. They might be different for low end torque?

What would be the most ideal transmission to use for a 1999 b4? Would the 93 Impreza manual transmission work?

I just bought an '04 Impreza WRX it has a CVT transmission and I am interested in converting it into a five or six speed any recommendations are help would be greatly appreciated

Amazing

What one should i use for my 01 subaru out back

hey, can you halp whit japan sf5? i convert everithing, i need just conect pins for N, back light and speedometer and for start. thank you

I want to do a swap on a 2006 Subaru Forester do you have any video or what step should I follow

Hey, Maybe you know what about gearbox from SOHC and DOHC engine? Does it fit no problem?

I have a 2004 rs but I have a couple questions

Can a 11 Impreza outback sport possible?

Why did you go with such an old tranny instead of finding one from the same year and model So a quick breakdown ill need trany shifter setup driveshaft clutch cable/master cylinder setup What about axle shafts are the automatics and the manuals the same and how about the pilot bearing Is there anything i missed?

Can I put a 2001 Impreza manual in my 2002 outback?

Did you forget the pilot bearing or do Subaru not have them

How well would this work swapping a manual into an H6 outback? I understand the wiring would be tougher as the H6 never had manual version in the first place like the H4 did - thoughts?

I've got a rusty outback vdc, and the ez30 only has like 165k on it. I want to throw it in an already manual forester, how easy do you think that'll be? Apparently the motor mounts are relatively similar and the trans fits well. Is the wiring gonna be a big problem

Yes benching the R160 rear diff can be solo...sheesh lol, I put my axles in while the wheels where still on, bit fiddly but was able to line up the impute shaft into the diff on both side then jack into place, make sure you check the seal surfaces, I added some grease to the inner wheel bear seal and CV axles here is a where I found that info at "briansmoble1" CV Axle Tips and Tricks Newer Subaru or Most Anything Else kzread.info/dash/bejne/a32Dt8uyYtGdkaw.html

Hey Aaron, so I'm having some problems with my manual swap. It's a 97 Subaru Legacy 2.2l everything i'm swapping came from the same gen, everything bolted right up. i can't think of anything or see anything i've missed. so you turn the key to the first postion still have power to the ecu/code reader, turn it to the second it loses power to ecu/code reader, and then cranks and cranks until rarely it starts up fine.

Like the year span and body style? Example what legacy wagon/outbacks/imprezas from this era will fit and give me all the parts i need?

The information is out there and easy enough to find with a little research on your part. Going through and watching the full length manual swap episodes will be a good start. You should have to put in some research time so that you will know what works and what doesn't and for what reason. Sure I could write out a list of everything, but that's because I've made myself an expert through my own research and experience. I'm here to help, but I'm not into dishing out giveaways that limit your growth. The full length episodes have a list of all the parts you need for the swap. 👍🏻 Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
