FEELER: 2008 SpecB 6mt swap...Perfect for 5x100 guys

This is a feeler post for my 2008 SpecB 6mt, STi drive shaft, WRX r160 with R180 flange on it and clutch fork/Pivot shaft/STi SPT SS kit/Clutch Slave cyl too/07 STi front bellhousing/helical front STi Diff/04 STi front stub swap. Basically everything you need for a 6mt swap into your WRX/Forester/Legacy(I've got the correct shift linkage for longer cars) using stock axles.

This has less than 14000 miles on it since the install/full rebuild done @ dbtuned the day of subiefest last year.

I'm looking in the $4.5k+ range for it to be worth it to me. After the offer comes in and is accepted, I'll take the car in and have the transmission removed.

For the right offer, I'll include the exedy twin disk clutch with flywheel as well.

Thanks.

PM me with offers.

Thanks for the kind words.

The awesome part about this setup is that the 3.545 gearing sets you at ~3k at 80mph in 6th.

Rear diff is 3.545.

Other gears, I don't quite know. Never checked, although...it's less shifting than an 05STi.

That's why I would have bought it. Much better gearing.
This should be correct

Oh, hmmm... I thought it was different than the STi's gearing/transmission. I thought 08STis had no oil pump in them.

Good to know on the gearing though! Thanks! I loved this transmission. 32MPG on the way to subiefest..w00t

Hot. I love this transmission and it's gearing. But... sadly, I no longer need it. I have another plan for my 00RS.
Even more crazy than the last setup.

This has a viscous center diff(OEM)...the JDM one doesn't mean anything different.

You also have to figure out what year your center is out of. FYI USDM 04-05 isn't the same as 06+ centers.

Thanks for the offer though.
