Can all subaru be changed from Auto to Man?

[Bazza-NZ]

Hey

Just need to know if all Subarus have the ability to change the transmission, of detailed a 1994 Legacy GT Sedan?

by this i mean they already have the pre-cut holes through the firewall etc that would allow the change to happen etc...

Cheers

Will be trying to do it provided the car doesn't get too pricey, Auto to Man plus TT to T ;D

Fun times ahead

Just check with the BD/BG guys that your not gonna have wiring nightmares with the ECU. I'm pretty sure some of the BD/BG GT's came out with the ECU of 1 plug fail. Otherwise all the wholes are in the firewall, they just have bungs plugging them up

u will need...

manual drive shaft

manual rear diff

there will be ecu wiring (to be specific ... wiring the rear reverse lights to go on when in reverse)

you may need a manual ecu as well (altho i had a manual ecu running in an auto prior to manual conversion...but believe theres a diff when runnin in manual?? not sure)

Got a whole 90 RS Legacy for parts, Which i'm 99% sure most parts will be able to be used in the GT, The RS has some structural damage, so switching over the stuff into the GT might be an idea i'm playing with

All Goods, If i do pick it up then i might need your help at some stage, as i'm keen as hell to get rid of the TT system and put in the RS motor and setup (FMIC) etc so i might need someone with some experience to help out if i get stuck

hurr im a durr ;D

[Bazza-NZ]

Yeah i'm pretty sure i have every thing i need to do the conversion expect for the car, Currently in talks with the owner to see what can be done

[Guest keltik]

Only ones that arent straightforward are the SVX, the GT30/RS30/Lancaster6, early EA81 body cars and maybe some other oddball models.

the inner RH guard had been cut to fit inter-cooler pipping which caused for some concern with the WOF guy and even the cert guy.. See Photo Below

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

ahh wtf??

thats some bulls*** man.

did they say because the hole is too big?

can it not be repaired?

uv got like 50km of piping there im sure that would probably give more strength than 3mm of steel lol

[Guest boostin]

That's horsesh*t!! And you're changing shells because of that?? Just get it welded up!

Yeah that it, i'm considering taking out of town to a different cert guy and see what he says, or taking it to Mac Built and see what they say

That picture makes it look a little smaller than actually is

[Guest boostin]

Why does it need a cert?

LVC for structure cutting to fit intercooler piping R/H Inner Guard near strut tower

straight from the WOF sheet

[Guest boostin]

What a wanker. Just get the rest of the hole welded up and looking tidy and factory. And go see a different WOF guy.

He even took photo's of the car and filled up some form etc and loaded something into the computer - not 100% sure what he was doing but meh

Was considering maybe a massive cold air intake box ;D, I would still need to gt some rust repaired etc. and find this "exhaust leak front pipe" but otherwise it should be all good to go

Right now there is a twin turbo legacy that is going cheap so i'm thinking a single conversion on that turn it into a sleeper
