Fuuuuu read it 3 times too and still missed it! Do these stubs normally come with the transmission? I'm sure I came off as a bit of a jerk as well, but it's a big undertaking to do a 6spd. This essentially converts your '05-'07 female transmission to a male transmission that will mate to GC female front axles.
JavaScript is disabled. You have to have 3.54 rear gears for 07 sti transmissions - you have 3.70's.. Doing it piece meal is going to cost you more in the end and frustration searching for the individual parts. And unless you really need it, then I'm going to try and steer you clear. i wish it was that easy too, and if it were i'm sure we'd see a lot more ppl riding the 6 speed bandwagon.
I know this question has probably already been asked but I couldn't find a clear answer. Basically the same as pre 08 swaps?
I came across it as I continue to do research and learn about how to achieve my goals for improving my forester. Now in California Stationed on Camp Pendleton.
It is wrong, if you have an 06' or 07' 6mt you will need a 3.54 rear end. You'll get a lot of the benefit for minimal cost.
Followers 0. The 5MT axle stubs are different from the 6MT stubs. What parts are needed to do a 6 speed swap into a 2004 Forester XT? It will probably end up being sooner rather then later. It's my understanding that the 08+ WRX, like the 08+ STi, doesn't have the VSS on the front differential. Include information about many 4eat with a 2.5 liter being 4.44 final (Outbacks and RS for example). sadly no.

csp had a reasonable question: what's the cheapest way to do a 6 speed swap? 6 speed conversion advice. If this is the case, am I correct in assuming that a transmission swap wouldn't require the bell housing to be changed? Thread starter Imran ... As above, I need some advice/info on a 6 speed conversion I’m planning to undertake on my version 2 Sti RA. A forum community dedicated to Subaru Impreza GC8 and RS owners and enthusiasts. If you want your gears spaced closer together the 6 speed may be good (and faster) depending on the course/application. I'm not aware of Subaru offering a 4.44 final with the 6 speed (OEM). Plus breaking piece by piece down the road becomes no fun.
I hold the same stance on going to anything bigger than a VF series turbo; you start running into a lot of investment and other issues beyond one. I'm not aware of Subaru offering a 4.44 final with the 6 speed (OEM). SOLD.

New 6 speed swap/r180 rear end What fluids? yes, this information is helpful, but there are other threads detailing 6 speed swaps - why not just make one comprehensive swap thread, lock and sticky it???
im ready for the swap next month! Okay, so I've been reading and researching for the past few weeks about doing a 07 6mt into my 07 WRX. Talk about how the early rear differentials have female axles while later units have male axles and that swapping the carrier is an easy way to change the type of axle needed.

If you're conquering a 6MT swap, dropping in a front diff isn't too much further of a dive on a 5mt. Hey all! ^^ yep, wagon and forester only from what my info shows. I guess I really didn't think through the whole swap process completely.
I would like you to make this less Impreza centric as they aren't the only Subarus getting 6 speeds. That was the idea, to try and get all the 6mt's and all the year cars in one thread.

SOLD. My Ver 6, Type-R 5 speed has 4.44 final though. From EVERYTHING that I've read, I'm needing a 02-05 R160 rear diff to mate to the 3.54 rear end on the 07 6mt. I do not plan on ever drag racing the car, probably won't autocross it, and probably won't ever track it except for the novelty (I have a dedicated play car set up much better and is more rewarding to use at the track).

Updated with final drives and a little more organization and detail.
I went to the link on NASIOC about swapping a 6 speed into a WRX but that is a WRX not a Forester. (ill think of more with time).
I'm now having to row 5th gear in the 1/4, and the gears are shorter and snugger to each other which doesn't help big turbo land out. for the male tranny with stubs sticking out. I'll list a few common configurations and parts lists. My Ver 6, Type-R 5 speed has 4.44 final though . I know this question has probably already been asked but I couldn't find a clear answer.

They tell me I can use my stock 2007 R160 3.70 rear diff with the 2007 6mt and that they prefer using it over the 3.54 R160...this through off my whole groove. ^ As Fraktal and I point out, if you're actually needing the 6 spd, that means you're putting some power down.
If not where can I acquire some i'm looking to do the same thing! Thanks! ?. lets see how long my engine last! The stubs only come standard with the '04 STI trans. Include the Legacy turbo as having a pull clutch with 3.9 final and LSD. Which is what everything I've read has said...but idk why P&L would say this and say that they do it frequently with success.

there seems to be no real parts list, just different stuff that was used.... Can I just swap in the 6 speed non DCCD tranny, compatible clutch, and rear differential?
For example driveshaft length differences between the Legacy and Impreza might be a hangup for swaps. THANK YOU!!! So, I call P&L the other day to make sure the list I have includes everything I need. seems silly to keep a viscous limited slip in the rear with the r160 if the purpose is to have the better handling characteristics of ALL the sti differentials. ^ Agree w/ fraktal. And thanks for the trans code link, I added that to the post, Subaru Impreza GC8 & RS Forum & Community.
I figured I'd start this thread to catalog the different six speed swaps and configurations available to the GC8. I know that there are different combos and different parts that can be used to do the swap. And as you point out, if I'm dropping 3,500 on just a trans, just drop the remaining bones and make it happen (go big as you suggest).
