Thinking of converting my 94 auto gt wagon to manual

[Guest]

Could you guys tell me the stuff i need to buy and what g box would be best to use?

Good luck, you may want to check you don't have the 1plug ECU of doom before you go any further ahead.

IF you have it, it is much MUCH easier for you to just sell up and buy a factory manual. YOU DO NOT want to have to reloom or replug one of those unless you are a masochistic nutter.

If by some miracle you have a 3 or 4 plug you will need:

manual peddle box

hydrolic clutch lines

manual gearbox

matching rear diff to front diff if it doesnt match

clutch

flywheel

manual gearbox crossmember (it differs from the auto)

prob other bits i have forgotten over the years/thanks to the st paddys spirit...

yes in the legacy gt twin turbos you are better off selling and buying as even if you do convert it. a factory manual will be faster as they have about 20-30 more horsepower due to trying to protect the auto boxes

also you will find it hard getting a wof i done a conversion on one of these and ended up having to swap everything including speedo cluster.

used jdm 96 wrx non sti gearbox and had to change diff and had to buy a 2.2l outback wagon drive shaft..

as most are too short or didnt have the right knuckle to bolt on to the diff

was able to get it on the cheap but was still a hard conversion.

also had to do some re wiring for the ignition to get the key out and the back reverse light as the trans one was diffrent to manual gearbox.

Sorry for pulling up an old thread, but conversion is easy with these wagons. Mine was done completely in 6 hours, passed a wof easy (check lvvta guidelines, factory bits used so legal). Just cost extra $120 for auto sparky to rewire reverse light and sort inhibitor.
