I am about to do the conversion, but wondered what people have done with the gaiter as think I will have to cut mine. I have a my00.

Have people used the gaiter from a later model and somehow adapted it?

Thanks

 

Mine uses a leather gaitor. It fastens nicely about the lift up collar, just below where you lift.

 

Mine is a straight fit 1995 WRX

 

Its a tight fit mate, but it does go through, bit soap or washing liquid and it fits, i thought i would have to cut mine but never, it looks very factory fitted.

Just noticed yours is a my00 so probably different, the leather ger gaiter from the 6 speed should fit.

 

What's needed for this combination please?

 

Mine is an aftermarket gaitor, picked up for around £7.50, red leather.
It was slightly short, so I unpicked the stitching around the bbottom.
I then removed the old gaitor and the clips holdingh it in place, offered up the new and marked the places where holes needed to be. I burned them through the leather with a red-hot skewer, (it stops the leather tearing).

The gaitor was then passed over the little studa the clips were on, and I placed 10mm squares of 2mm thick styrene over them and dabbed styrene solvent onto each one.

It looks factory fitted once turned over and hasn't come loose.

 

Sorry. I asked that question while sleepy. What is required for the change to 6 speed please. Does it require a remap too? Thanks.

 

Yes it should be remapped, as the load will be different, from the new ratios.

 

Thanks, but what parts are needed?

 

Box, linkages, gear lever and ****
Rear diff.
Drive shafts.
Clutch master cylinder.
Starter.
POSSIBLY gearbox support cradle.

 

i hate the 6 speed ratios myself.

Make sure you drive one before hand to check you find them ok befor eyou get any nasty surprises

 

As alcazar says but depends what model you have ! I run a 6 speed blob eye box in my rb5 , and needed what alcazar says minus shafts and rear diff
