The clutch is the same as your car so it will be the same install. The JDM 6 speed is the same as the USDM except the JDM has shorter 5th and 6th gears and is available without DCCD, like mine.

So far the R160 diff is out and R180 is in the car and hangs about an inch and a half lower. The F&R axles are out, all of the tranny bolts are loose, the starter is out, and the rear brakes are almost off. There is one bolt holding us up on the brake swap, its seized in the spindle

the tranny was 3400 and came with the linkage and flywheel, the rear end was 1800 and came with the r180, all 4 axles, rear spindles and subaru 2 pot rear brakes, and the driveshaft was 150. I got a set of CF STi blinker covers for free I spent a lil more cuz i got an act clutch and group n mounts.

I just got out of bed so I'm getting ready to work on it in a lil bit. All that's left is to get the flywheel resurfaced, take out the 5mt, install the 6mt, put on the rear brakes, and install the driveshaft. Hopefully tonight we'll get the rear end together. ONE fucking bolt is holding us up, maybe it will come out but I doubt it

Are you keeping or selling the 5MT? Is it even good? I'm working on a project for my Leg and may need a center differential and housing, or at least a good picture of one to know if I'd need it or not

How is progress?
