I've been thinking about one, but figured it was just bling without any added functionality. I like that it lights up. Is it plug and play? Does it flash with the blinkers or just light up?

I did a brand new 07 sti transmission with a APCT Carbon Driveshaft. Stock Axles. Just needs the stubs. Totalyl changed the way the car drove. Can never go back to 5speed.

I'm just going to drive the car for awhile and then take the trans apart and see what's going on in there. I haven't driven this car for over 4 years |

Awesome thanks so much for the input. I already rebuilt the 5-speed once and I don't want to go that route again. This time I'd rather have something that will handle more power since I plan on upgrading the turbo as well. How much was a brand new trans?

When I did my swap after doing research the 06 sti transmission works out to be the cheapest swap. You can find them used with low miles for not that much $$. I got lucky and knew a guy parting his 06 sti out so I knew the trans only had 38k on it picked that up for 2800 and after fly wheel/clutch/installations ect It worked out to be around 4k after everything was said and done.
I don't know how any of you guys who have already swapped feel a bout this, but I def feel the 6speed is just not very practical for daily use. Maybe it's just me being lazy but I miss not having to shift so much from stop lights around town when I had my 5 speed. Also between the shorter gears and the more aggressive tune I got ,my gas mileage has def suffered. At the end of the day though all the pro's the six speed brings out weighs any of the con's. I just wished they could of lengthened the gears some for daily use. Last edited by DreamEvil; 04-14-2013 at 02:22 PM. |

EDIT: it's not the same. Looked it up. Yes yours is a spec c BUT you have transmission cooler lines. You should hook up something up? Mine doesn't whine or anything like that. 4 years is a long time. What fluids are you running in your trans and rear end? Are you running an R160 or R180? Do you have a mismatched final drive (unlikely but still gotta ask). I don't want to get you worried. Mind posting a video so I can hear the noise? You don't have a factory transmission cooler do you? Last edited by iNfEk; 04-14-2013 at 02:26 PM. |

I wouldn't waste money on a brand new 6spd, for a little more you could get a full v.8 swap. Used 6spds with everything you need regularly sell for under $3k. I got a full drivetrain for $6k

I would strongly disagree, and say the opposite. The shorter gearing really helped the 2.0 get in its power band, which is not much of one since it has no torque below 4000. My car feels faster, much more fun to drive. I do not notice shifting more at all.

I am so angry I didn't do a 6-speed swap. I ended up paying $4,100 for 5-speed rebuild. I was quoted $2,000. It took a month to get my car back and I am not happy with rebuild. At least I got a good clutch and a cusco mounts installed at the same time. Its been over a year and the thing chatters like crazy when compression brake. Where are you guys seeing these 6-speeds? |

ya, 5 speeds are noisy as hell! FlatIron is where to get a new tranny.
Getting a much better front and center diff was a huge plus too! |

Up until I browsed this thread I had never seen bugeye tails witht the rear fog. Now I want one lol! I had a pair of OEM rear fogs on my EF Civic Sedan. In my opinion they totally change the look even though it's a small detail. |
