6 Speed Swap into BP5 GT

[benyu0926]

Hey all,

 

Just got a question about doing a 6 speed swap into my Legacy GT JDM. It's already a 5 speed manual, what would be required to make the change and how much roughly?

 

Thanks in advanced!

What current mods have you done to the car? Any particular reason why you’d rather do this than move to a Spec B?

 

The swap will cost a heap more than it would to sell it and move to a Spec B. Can’t just throw in a STi 6-speed setup as it’ll ned to match the Legacy hubs which will mean custom axles and maybe driveshaft? 

Even if you got an entire driveline from a wrecked Spec B it’s still a major swap. And at the end of the day it won’t be worth much more than every other standard 5-speed

It's all bolt ons really, but have spent a lot of the car already and I'm bloody attached to it... Any idea around how much I'd be looking at?

Even with the amount of time i’ve spent tinkering with mine i’d swap it for a Spec B if I was in the same position as you. Attached to mine aswell but i’d keep everything i’d changed and chuck it in the new one and be just as happy.

It can be a tricky one if you can’t afford to have a bit of an overlap with having both at the same time though.

@gotasuby or @Subirex Automotive might be able to have a stab at a super rough estimate. They are getting alot more common so there must surely be a couple of stacked ones with good drivetrains out there.
