^^ this should help with the motor swap.

as for the auto to manual swap you will need the:
tranny (complete)
drive shaft
rear diff
clutch master cylinder
pedal set

i think there is a couple other things too just cant remember at this time.

I am about to start my 03 wrx motor/tranny swap shortly as soon as I get back, I'll let you know how everything turns out.

 

also you will need the wiring diagram!!!

 

wiring is fun the one thing to remember about a autoto manual swap isto wire up the key lock solenoid so you can remove your key and you need to connect the 2 wires that no to the starter from the neutral saftey switch lmk if you need any help done the wireing a few times diagrams are easy to find

 

Count me in too if you need help if the schedule works out for me!! Hey Abunai, do you have Daves old ride??

 

i would assume you know... that nasty mess of wires around your neck was giving me a headache!!

 

yeah ive done 3 wrx swaps into gc when jes gets back it will be 4

 

DSB ...Question on wiring...
does subaru have a real detailed book on wiring? like the pinouts....color of wires...location of connectors...blah blah blah.... kinda like this? the service manuals i bought via ebay ...i looked at the wiring and its kinda bland...shows me where wires goes....but doesnt show me connectors or even pinout for each connector...

this is our ford wiring manuals....makes electrical work a breeze...if so...where can i pick one up for my 06 Sti.

 

yeh i know dave, jon and myself have the diagrams for the wrx's i know dave and myself have the the gc diagrams not sure if jon has those

but it shows everything... thats how i re wired my 94L FWD and converted it with a 2002 rs and coverted it to a AWD

 

subaru has the wiring diarams and pinouts close to that in the service manual i have for 01rs,02 and 04 wrx and 04 sti havnt found for an 06 sti....just look around online you might find one

 

the wiring schmatics you have are CD form or do you have a book? if its in a book form maybe we can get the publishing company to order the official wiring manuals....

ford...as well as acura, buick, cadillac, chevy, honda and few others manf. use helm publishing company to print all their shop manuals... www.helminc.com

 

The manuals I have are all in pdf format you can order from subaru direct don't know the price of the sti one but the one for my 01 was like 600 for all the books

 

Dave, you know how to wire up the AC to make it work? Mine hasnt worked since I did the swap.

 

i know how!! i did it i know that there are a few wires tha get combind that one was a biatch

 

what compressor did you use the 3 i did i used the compressor that come with the car and never had to do anything i can take a look at it lmk what compressor you used and you car is an 01 right
