I just finished the swap today, I started last friday.
I bought a 91 turbo legacy donor car, rebuild the tranny, new shifter bushings, new excedy stage 1 clutch, and new clutch line.

The car is awesome now, it has never been so much fun! i still need to clean up the tranny wiring and get a shift boot, but i am so burnt out that it was just have to wait. I suggest it to anyone who has the time.

Is the 92-94 tan or the 90-91 tan?

i am going to try to just get a leather shift boot and modify it to fit the old console. yeah judd, our cars are too much alike, its crazy.
Legacy777, i cheated and just cut wires 9 and 10 out of the b connector on the ECU. I am going to make a plug and play harness soon.

Not sure if you were originally talking to me or max. But I'd be interested in the shifter surround piece & boot if it's in decent condition.

The 90-91 tan interior is different then the 92-94 tan color.

welcome to the club! I didn't do any of the labor to get mine changed (Thanks Dave!) but it's a cool feeling knowing that we have unique cars.

the rebuild took probably a 1 1/2 days because i had to get the upper bearing and tear apart may other tranny to get the syncros. yes, i feel unique until i go up to fort collins and gt2.5turbo has almost the same car expect it is white. :)
