Nice. Yeah, I'm rocking an 09 6MT in my bugeye that I track and loving it. I agree and don't see what the big deal is wrt swapping in newer 6 speeds. It seems a lot of people just think it's not possible or takes a lot more effort or something. It's really not a big deal - there are several aftermarket speed sensors available and the rest is plug and play (I did have to invert my nps, but that's a piece of cake with open source tuning, or it can be done electrically), and the newer trannies have stronger synchros and other improvements - so why not?

Until recently, there was only one manufacturer for the speed sensor, for the '08+ transmissions, and their product was not reliable in some reviews.
Then a second manufacturer came with a product and people were waiting to see if this other product will be reliable in the long run. A possible downside for this is that you'd want ideally the same manufacturer for the DCCD controller, as for the speed sensor controller, for possible future deeper integration. |

Does the r180 use the same mounting hardware as the r160? Like to the car, not the ds or axles?

Bolts in exactly the same, like mentioned. It has the same studs sticking out of the rear cover and is pretty easy to install. Also has the same four bolts for the input flange.

I mounted mine externally, with a simple hall effect sensor, and anyone with a decent knowledge of electronics could have done it even back then. You can also use an adapter to adjust the pulses to get the speed accurate, mine is close enough (shows just a hair over actual speed, for that extra speeding ticket safety margin )
Maybe it is because people didn't want to deal with the hassle and they could have just used the older ones. No one actually looked for the information because they went the easy route. Quote:

Giving away something I've learned on my own isn't helping "the community", and many of the members here make enough scratch to buy their own speed sensor setup. I'm not going to show people how to avoid paying for something vendors earn a living selling.
I've learned that you have to be careful who you help and that a lot of the "help" on this forum is incomplete and misleading. If you can't understand how I installed a hall effect sensor, you will need more help than I can provide. I help enough through pm and also being a parts guinea pig when countless hours of searching yields nothing but dead end threads. Here is some info for anyone curious as to how a hall effect sensor works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor |

Wow. I have to respectfully disagree with your disagreement. First, it is not my obligation to teach anyone how I designed my speed sensor setup. I've already mentioned a hall effect sensor is used and that is enough for anyone who is electronically and mechanically inclined to know what to do...maybe I shouldn't have even mentioned that. Second, the vendor's product is not "questionable" and likely easier for members to install. They also give instructions on how to do it. You can't seriously believe I am obligated to tell everyone how I made my own setup, that would be like expecting the guys who made the dccd controllers to give you the circuit design and components so you can build your own. Go ahead and ask them to share.
I've shared many ideas and helped members so many times and have been helped as well. I should have known it would be on this forum that people would try to lay a guilt trip on me and think I would fall for it. I've already helped the thread by correcting information that hasn't been changed since 2008, you would think that is enough for one thread. Quote:

Agree with Ken.
You don't have an obligation, you're building on other's posted knowledge, you can choose to add your own building bricks. Others will build on top of those too. And as far as the vendor sales, this will increase the sales of the vendors that sell 08+ Sti transmissions. It will not stop the sales of the DCCD related vendors, as they make available an integrated solution, but hopefully drive the prices down a bit in this sector. |

You didn't have to type it literally but it definitely seems implied. I've found useful information here and have also provided it many times. This is also not the only subaru site to learn from and I don't spend as much here as others but there are some great members who've been here for a while. Again, I've shared knowledge many times, but this is just something I'm not going to give out. There are things that can go wrong and cause issues for people who aren't electronically "inclined" and I'd rather not feel responsible and complicate something they could do by simply buying a setup already designed for their vehicle.

Trans Length
Does anyone know if there is somewhere with the the lengths of Subaru transmissions? I can't find that info anywhere.

Has anyone attempted this conversion on an 08+ impreza 2.5i?
I'm considering a full sti swap and may start with the driveline. |

2005 Sti 6 speed Into 2006 WRX
I need help with the wiring of the DCCD Manual Controller I purchased. They do not have very detailed instructions listed on their website. I am stuck without knowing which wires go where.
There are 5 wires total. “Red” = 12v positive (switched power) *Do not connect to “always on” power “Green“ = 0v negative (ground) “Black” = DCCD “B128 pin 1” (See attached Subaru DCCD Schematic) “White“ = DCCD “B128 pin 4” (See attached Subaru DCCD Schematic) “Brown” = Ebrake cutout wire (ground this to open the diff) provided by dccdpro.com So my question is, help please? |

08+ 6MT. So this is an impossible topic to find any answers on. Is the only difference for 08-10 STI 6MT the lack of a speed sensor? How about everything else like the brembos, axles, r180 rear? I have googled and googled and am not having much luck. Thanks.

You can use whatever front axles came with your car, if they are male. The rear you can buy some race adapters from Suberdave, if you aren't already r180. |

I'm installing an 04 STI drivetrain in my 02 WRX including a R180 rear diff. Now I know that the front STI axles will fit into my front hubs. So my question is will the rear 04 STI axles fit into the rear hubs on my 02 WRX? Or will I have to get 04 STI rear hubs?

No. You don't have to... You can get hybrid axles, conversion races, OR swap hubs. |

06 sti drivetrain in 07 wrx
I have a 2007 wrx, and have access to a scraped 2006 sti, I want to swap sti tranmission and differential in my 07 wrx, but don't want to swap hubs/brakes, what is the easiest route, can I somehow get my wrx cv axles to fit the sti trans and diff or is there a way to use just the sti transmission and change gearing in my rear differential, and use a auto driveshaft? Need help
