how much did it cost you to swap to the 6 speed ?

[kevo0311]

Just curious, because I have an amazing motor and huge turbo but stock 5 speed and i have read all about it and understand one day i will need to decide on what to do with my transmission. Right now I am pushing 330 to the wheels and wont tune it to its full potential until transmission swap. Im sure other wrx owners out there would like to read all the different costs and set ups you guys did with the 6 speed transmission into your wrx.

So how much did it cost and list the total parts you swapped the STI transmission, and if you did it yourself or, took it to a professional.

thanks

I hear 07 and below its quite an easy process(and cheaper) but 08 plus your goanna pay a lot for it

its about the same price either way you look at it.

you dont just need the tranny you need about all of the following

trans
flywheel
clutch
driveshaft
axles
rear diff
rear axles
rear hubs
rear brakes

Yeah if you have a 2006 WRX that 3.7:1 FD is going to be a PITA. I'm not sure there's any way around swapping out the rear diff like with the 2002-2005 and 2008+ WRX.

It can be done on an 02-05 for around $3,500-4,000 with used parts and doing all the work yourself. A lot of money to blow on 1 part, but the sti 6 speed is bullet proof so you only have to do it once unless you absolutely suck on a manual car and do launches everyday. It would chuckle at your 330whp and ask for more
