I did the 2006 swap with an 06 wagon. The swap will require a new clutch. The clutch type of the 5 speed is Push and the STI is Pull type. Different clutch. You will also need an STI flywheel to mount the new clutch to. You can reuse your axles on the trans by swiping out the seals on the trans. Look up how to do that on here. KEY POINT. Mark the seal carriers to the trans before you unscrew them and count the number of rotations to take off. The seal carriers are used to preload the center diff and getting the load wrong can lead to failure in a short time. Again, count the number of rotations and mark the carrier to the trans before you start removing them. Your rear axels should work fine with the 160 diff. To pop the trans in you will also need to handle the tail yoke to get it to line up with the output shaft of the engine. It just won't spin like the 5 speed does and you need to turn the yoke to get it mated. Also its a bear to maneuver and fit. The space is tight so watch your hands. Good luck and its a nice swap. Keep your hubs and wheels while using the STI trans. Great sleeper look if you use the 5 speed knob. Also the shifter boot will not go past the reverse lockout ring on the shifter. Not a big deal and helps with the stealth look.

The '07 carriers allow seal swapping from the outside, it was redesigned.
You won't need to take the carrier out.
Then while you will be able to make WRX axles work, after 1 year, they started to make such a noise (they are longer and were riding fully compressed), I thought I had bad front bearings.
The noise is not the typical clicking.
It's better to complete the front conversion with Sti axles, you have to read about abs tone ring location for each year.
Also, the car will settle down on the suspension gradually, in a month give it an alignment.

FWIW, you can also use an STI driveshaft.

Use moly grease on all splines (main shaft and axles), but use sparingly on the main shaft as you don't want it flinging onto the clutch / flywheel face.

Not sure if you considered these things but while you are in there, you might as well replace with OEM: pilot bearing and throwout bearing. Quality is just better with them compared to the ones that come with the clutch kit.

Also, small thing, but consider changing out your shift lever pivot bushings. Having the trans out would make this so much easier. Not needed, but would make shifting feel a lot better.

I thought i read in order to use the sti driveshaft id have to change the ring n pinion on rear diff or use the automatic impreza driveshaft which goes right in

cool thanks. Have you had any issues with your front axles. Person replied saying that the wrx axles are a little longer which means they are fully compressed and after a years time or so theyll be pooched

You only need to replace the ds mating flange at the end of the diff with the r180 style. It's just the piece you take off to replace the oil seal - real simple. If you go this route, have a spare oil seal ready - when I popped the mating flange off my r160 it puked gear oil everywhere.

As far as using front WRX axles, I'm using rebuilt OE '02 axles with an 09 6MT and have not had any issues. Did the swap about 8 months ago. If the CVs are compressed, I didn't notice. I've heard that some aftermarket axles are longer than OE, so maybe that was the issue the other poster had.

I think this has been mentioned, but I'll second that the group N trans mount is worthwhile as are upgraded shifter linkage bushings (I got mine from Turn in Concepts) while you're in there, if you like a shifter feel with very little freeplay and well defined gates.

Default FAQ: STi 6MT Swap into a WRX

The length of the axles is associated with the width of the transmission at the front differential. The 5 speed axles are longer. If you need a photo to see this, let me know, I have one.



As far as the rest, I re-used my original axles, that had 160 K miles. They started to be noisy about 1 year later.



If you replace the flange to the R160, you have to use the procedure from the factory manual and torque the nut properly.



As far as the push to pull clutch in a 5 speed WRX, I don't think the 2007 is the same with the 2006, but research this.

Understood, and I did a quick check at O'reilly's site, and the lengths for their replacement axles (compressed) are 26 7/8" for 2002 WRX and 26 13/16" for 2004 STi. So, longer, but only by 1/16". (Acknowledged that aftermarket CV axles are not a great reference, but unfortunately, the full lengths aren't spec'd in the FSMs - I checked.) OP - go with STi axles and sleep better at night, or live dangerously with an extra 1/16"; up to you. It is also possible the joints have different lengths in the nominal compression range, which would change the delta.

I have 8 months on mine and about 7 hours of road course track time without any issues (yet). If these wear out I'll switch to STi.

Yes - IIRC it calls for a special tool that holds the assembly (off the vehicle) and locks down the output shafts. I either had a buddy stand on the brakes or I put an impact on it (which I don't recommend, but I had an R180 waiting in the wings in case anything went wrong ).

Just purchased a 03 WRX wagon from original owner with low mileage (76k miles) not very satisfied with the transmission. Scheduled to do a clutch job on my car but in further research price wise a 6 speed STI swap doesnt seem to terrible.

Ive been reading quite a few of these threads but it APPEARS, all i will need are the follow:

Tranny- Will be purchasing 2007 sti transmission from flatirontuning.com or subaru genuine parts dot com

6MT clutch fork

Auto driveshaft 98-07 impreza

Good with the R160 diff (03 wrx)

Reuse WRX axles- Need stubs,seals?

STi shifter linkage

6MT tranny mount

Going to go WITHOUT the DCCD controller for now.

Am i missing anything? Seems to be it..

Thanks guys!

For the brand new 6 speed, look up my review in the parts review section, to find out what you receive when you buy a new unit.
The fork and bearing are included.

Just finished my swap and want to add this tid bit. Rather than spending $120 on a 6mt linkage knuckle.



I forgot to add that once you grind the small pressed end off you need to tap the rod out with a punch.

I'm finishing up an 08 6speed into an 03 wrx. I'm not sure if it's been covered somewhere in here but I needed new axles (both of mine were leaking);and didnt want to deal with the stubs so I bought 07 wrx axles and they just popped right in. Wonderful. Sticky this??

Thanks for the helpful thread


I encountered a few issues installing a 2011 sti transmission and rear diff in my 95 impreza.

1- 2011 sti driveshaft and 2005 5mt driveshaft are way too long, and both are the same length.

2- I had to cut the fwd trans mounting brackets out of the tunnel, the transmission was just too wide to give any room for installation or clearance for accessing any bolts or sensors.

3- The 2011 shifter assembly is way too long, the bottom rod was forced into the tunnel reinforcement and the shifter pivot up top was pushed against the rear of the floor opening.


I now need to apparently use a 04-07 sti shifter assembly instead and still am not sure which driveshaft to use. The plan is to buy a carbon shaft, but I need to confirm which year model and type of driveshaft to ask for.

Another bump because the original post states all of the wrx and sti manual starters will interchange.

I just installed a super low mileage late wrx starter (that has been on my 11 5mt for months) on my recently installed 11 sti transmission. When I attempt to start the car, the starter binds to the flywheel (new act streetlite sti flywheel) and the seizes the motor so it won't turn manually. I then have to remove the starter and can turn the engine manually again. This is really frustrating because I've been going off forum information researched for years and was planning on using the car this weekend. Bump for any possible help or new information.


Since my last post, I have installed a 04-07 sti shifter and it fits perfectly on the 11 sti trans and centers correctly in the tunnel opening. I also have a 04-07 sti carbon driveshaft on the way. The driveshaft may be here tomorrow, but with my current starting bind situation it seems the weekend is fubar'ed.

FAQ: USDM STi 6MT Swap into a WRX

Well I thought I would finally try to give back to nasioc by sharing this with everyone in the hope that others would appreciate a simplified page about the swap.

Front Differentials:
02-07 WRX: open
04 STi: “SureTrac” LSD
05-07 STi: “Helical” LSD

Rear Differentials: R160, R180
These were originally used in the Datsun 510, 610 and other IRS Datsuns. The "R" stands for Fuji Heavy Industries. The R180 was used in the front axle of Datsun 4x4 trucks (720, etc). The number represents the ring gear size in millimeters.

R160 – 52lbs. WRX rear differential. It has a viscous LSD which is no better than an open differential since the unit is so tiny in this diff.
02-05 have a 3.54 gear ratio
06-07 have a 3.70 gear ratio
R160’s on 2.2L Legacy/Impreza’s have a 3.9 gear ratio

R180 – 64lbs. STi rear differential. It has a mechanical clutch type LSD.
04-05 R180’s have a 3.90 gear ratio
06-07 R180’s have a 3.54 gear ratio

Center Differentials:
02-07 WRX: Viscous coupling type
02-05 has a 1.1:1 gear ratio
06-07 has a 1:1 gear ratio
04-07 STi: DCCD (Driver Controlled Center Differential)
04-05 has a 1:1 gear ratio
06-07 has a 1.1:1 gear ratio

Do I need different front axles?
02-early 04 WRXs have female axles and need to use stubs that go inside the tranny. Late 04-07 WRXs use male ended axles that slide inside the front differential so there is no need for stubs. For the female axles, you need axle stubs, circlips, and seals to reuse the WRX axles (check out the seal differences link for part numbers). You can use the stubs from your 5MT. For the male ended axles, they just slide right into place with the correct seals and circlips. 04 STi front axles will work too.

Will my WRX clutch and flywheel work in a 6speed?
-Yes. The diameter of the WRX flywheel is smaller (230mm compared to 240mm) than the STi flywheel. The bell housing on the 5speed is also smaller. There is less surface area with the 5speed compared to the 6speed but is not a huge difference. There are no issues with running a 5MT clutch and flywheel in a 6MT. See post #24

Will my WRX starter motor work in the 6MT?
-Yes. WRX and STi starter motors are the same part number.

Please correct this. As of 2008, the sti and wrx starters are different and will not interchange. I tried using the starter from my 11 wrx trans on my 11 sti trans and it does not work. It will bind badly and not turn the engine over.

What if I don’t have/use a DCCD (Driver Controlled Center Differential) controller?
-The DCCD defaults to open mode which is a 35% front/65% rear power routing in 04-05 and 41/59 in 06-07. There isn’t anything “wrong” with this, but if you are running the R160 with the 3.90 Ring and Pinion the compromise is in an even shorter life of the differential since more power is being routed to the rear. This of course all depends on the driver as some have a knack for blowing parts out even at stock power levels. The options for a controller are: Spiider’s (DCCDPro.com), Neetronics.com, RocketRally.com…

Is there a strength difference between the WRX and STi drive shafts and axles?
Subaru’s use 2-piece drive shafts. The WRX drive shafts are 2.5” longer than the STi and they use a ball-joint whereas an STi driveshaft uses a universal joint which is stronger. The STi axles are stronger because of a larger diameter bar and beefier CV joints.

What are my options for doing a 6MT swap?
-There are really only 2 routes:

1) Thanks to Bayley for pioneering this route so a 6MT swap was actually feasible for most. This parts list includes:
• Tranny
• 6MT clutch fork
• Auto driveshaft or STi ds and enlarge the holes on the ds and yoke or switch the yoke on the R160 to the bigger R180 yoke if you can get one.
• Put 3.90 gears in your R160 Differential (if using an 06-07 tranny with an 02-05 R160 there is no need to change anything with the differential)
• Reuse your WRX axles
• STi shifter linkage
• 6MT tranny mount (5MT and 6MT mounts are different)
• DCCD controller (optional, but recommended)


2) Here’s the expensive but stronger way:
• Tranny
• 6MT clutch fork
• STi driveshaft
• R180 differential
• STi axles
• STi hubs
• STi knuckles
• STi Brembos (calipers, rotors, pads) technically you only need the rear
• STi strut assembly (05+ knuckles)
• STi shifter linkage
• 6MT tranny mount
• DCCD controller


All of these threads helped me out:
Swapping in a USDM STi 6-speed for under $3000 (my story – long)
2006 STi Transmission Differences
Master swap list for 04-07 Sti 6 speed into WRX
Master 6 Speed Transmission Decoder Ring
Axle seal differences in recent years
Trasnmission FAQ
For those wanting to make their own DCCD controller
WRX 6MT swap (part 1)
WRX 6MT swap (part 2)


I created this because the information I found was spread out over many threads. I did a lot of searching for this and aftering reading it you should have a pretty good idea of what is involved in a 6MT swap. I will do my best to keep this updated whenever I find any new info or if anyone needs more clarification on something let me know and I can add more detail. If there is an error please send me a PM with the facts.

Yeah, obviously not many people will swap the 08+ transmissions into their 07- cars because of the lack of speed sensor. But for the few who do, it would be a nice tidbit of info to spare them a lot of grief. My car is a 95 so any little roadblock adds a lot of anxiety, especially with little to no input from others who may have done the same install. It was not a great feeling when the car wouldn't turn over, with all of the other little details we ran into this one was the icing on the cake. Luckily my friend has an sti and let me try his starter and driveshaft. We actually drove the car to and from TX2k16 and it did very well. I will be installing my dss carbon driveshaft this week and doing a few other minor things to lighten the car some more. The ACT clutch feels great now and pretty soon I will be confident enough to try some decent pulls.
