Nice job Adam, thats pretty cool you tore into a trans like that. I'm sure you learned a lot, those are still mostly voodoo to me.

Flywheel doesnt look too bad, yay for steel flywheels.

Did you throw a different clutch in there while you were doing all that? Seems like a pretty "straightforward" swap. Looking forward to seeing your car this next season at autox. I "might" have something for you then to compete against.

Yea I put a new clutch in. The old one wasn't slipping yet but it was pretty worn down. It's just an OE clutch but they're made by exedy and hold 300 lb/tq with no problem. It was pretty straightforward I guess but I had to do a lot of research on the forums and talking to different people to make sure I had all the kinks worked out before we got started. It was definitely a great learning experience though. I'm looking forward to Autox as well especially since I dont have to worry about leaving parts of my tranny all over the course :lol:

Great write up. Very nice work on the swap, I never really heard much about swapping LGT parts into a WRX trans but it makes sense. Excellent work and thanks for the pictures.

Looks great man, I cant even imagine tearing into the trans like that!! Glad it all went well and cant wait to experience it back at school!

Thanks guys. I always enjoy everybody else's write ups so I'm glad I finally got to contribute a good one of my own. And David you need to check it out when we get back to school, it feels like shifting a totally different car.
