Hi all
Im on the look out for a 2.5 legacy for my conversion, but all that i've seen are auto's. Did they make manual versions?
Im also looking to fit the entire wiring harness and dashboard when i convert, so if i go for an auto donor, will this lead to trouble? Will the ECU be happy without the auto box to talk to?
Cheers
Dave |

most conversion cars were auto ,you just need a manual flywheel with longer bolts and manual starter if using rjes bits
