Hello fellow forum members, I have been considering swapping my 03 forester from automatic to 5MT. I have read the few posts on here to help with that, but I am lost. I am curious about the wiring, I understand the whole mechanical side of it, but I would have to do emissions once a year so I...

I bought some wheels off of marketplace from a guy clearing out his garage, he also gave me a working 5-speed manual transmission for free. I have been thinking about swapping a 5-speed into my forester for quite some time but i’m not quite sure about any issues with this one. It is a 5MT from a...

So I was driving normally down 35mph roads, not stressing the car or driving it hard at all, when I came to a stoplight. When it turned green & I shifted from first to second I noticed it suddenly felt different - it feels like 2nd is 'lower' than it usually is as in it needs sort of pushed down...

SOLD! Thanks everyone for the interest. Really sad to let it go. I will miss this car! 2008 Subaru Forester Sports XT Color: Silver (steel grey) Transmission: Factory 5sp Manual Mileage: 100k miles (99,500) US vehicle with Odometer in miles Location: Ottawa, Canada Well, the time has...

Hello all, been searching the forums and can’t quite find anything like what I have going on. Just did the clutch on my 06 FXT and the shifter is Insanely stiff and feels like an arm workout just to shift from 1-2-3. Also 3 doesn’t feel like it wants to full engage. I had no problems with the...

I’m looking for a 05 fxt manual ecu and under dash wiring harness to complete my 4eat to 5mt swap. Please message me if you have these parts or know where to get them. Even if you know part #’s anything helps! Thank you

I'd like to completely swap a 2009-14 WRX engine and drivetrain into my 2011 NA 5MT SH Forester. I'd like to ask if there is anyone who can help me fill in the gaps in my research and knowledge. My brother is a body guy with auction access, and since WRX drivers basically spent half their time...

Hey, I recently purchased a 2011 Forester with the 5speed manual and 187k. I've put about 1100 miles and today I shift out of 4th into neutral to come to a stop, as I take the clutch out it feels like the gear is still engaged. I put the stick in and out of gear again and let the clutch out and...

Mileage: 169,800 at time of posting Why I am thinking about selling: want a new car and want to do less project work because I am getting much busier in my life. I put a TON of TLC into this. This is a Texas Foz, so, NO RUST. I have tried to keep the mods very low-key, closer to stock, and...

Hi All, I'm a long-time lurker (2 years or so after finding a ton of information to help me replace the head gaskets on my '05 Forester), and am experiencing what I believe to be a driveshaft Vibration. Helpful information: 2005 Forester xs. 207k miles. Chicagoland Area. 5mt. Daily driver. A...

I am such an idiot.... I recently changed out my shifter linkage bushings on my SF5. Everything was great until tonight, when with a sudden thud I was completely unable to get into any gears except for first. Only swapped out the shifter bushings last week, and sure enough I must have forgotten...

Hey guys, looking to do the bushings & linkage to fix up some sloppiness in my 99 SF5 that has a 5mt trans from a 2007 Impreza. Watching some youtube videos on this process i see some of the guys talking about a "neutral return pin" and making sure to install them as they often go missing... So...

Hi, I am in the process of replacing the whole drivetrain of my car. I am looking for a EJ25 but following another discussion here, I was convinced I am best served (I need torque to compensate for the loss of compression at high altitude) to have a dual-range transmission. A local guy is...

Greetings, new member here. 😊 I apologise in advance as I am sure there are a thousand threads about this already but after a search I couldn't quite find what I was looking for. My story: I intend to swap the 4AT in my 99 Forester GT to a 5MT. My issue: I've read that any EJ series engine...

Hey everyone, kinda stumped on this one. My wife’s car, 2002 Subaru Forester 5MT with almost 300k, clutch done about 2k ago. Yesterday she pulled into the driveway and parked her car after driving a half an hour. She left the car in first with the parking brake on when she left. After sitting...
