    You're going to need to be a lot more specific than that if you're looking for answers.

    What model Subaru do you have and what model Subaru did the transmission come out of? When you're saying it's not shifting into gear what is it doing?

    Make sure your linkage, make sure it's not bound up.

    See Post #2. If you're running an 06 trans in an 02, you're about to have a lot more issues than just not being able to shift. The final drive on an 02 is different than an 06 (3.9 vs. 3.7) which is going to cause some serious issues with your center diff. As Putz already stated, the clutches are different as well. Is this a 6MT or a 5MT that you put in?

    Did you do any research on this before you put it in?

    Until the OP can put together a complete, well formed post containing the information about his car, the vehicle that the donor transmission came out of and any other pertinent piece of information then he's not going to get any help on this at all. We've got better things to do than play guessing games all day about what might or might not be wrong with the car. For all we know he's got an 02 Dodge Ram 3500 and he installed the transmission from a 2006 Ferrari F430 Scuderia and he's having shifting issues.

    He's getting a chance, but he's going to have to give us the information that we need to actually help him out. Coming in here and giving us no information at all and then wanting answers doesn't do anyone any good.

    Ok, that's getting better. The clutch between an 02 and an 06 is going to be a different style clutch. With you running the 06 clutch you may not be engaging or disengaging the clutch and it won't let the car go into gear while it's running.

    best bet is to search nasioc, and find some one crazy enough to swap an 06-07 drive train into an 02-05 wrx.... kinda a weird swap if you ask me, easier to stick with a dirrect swap tranny...


    but your best bet is to try different search terms untill you find what you are looking for.

    please don't feed the fire with plastic materials, they smell bad!!!!! Burns the brain cells!

    this is what needs to be done to work. I'll go over the process.

    '06 tranny with matching rear diff
    '06 WRX FW and clutch
    '06 clutch fork and throwout bearing
    '06 WRX slave cylinder
    male front axles if you don't have them

    Don't matter the pedal box. It's job is to push fluid. Make sure you get the FULL pedal stroke. Bleed the clutch line when you swap slave cylinders, Bleed it correctly. It shouldn't take MORE than 5 times to bleed it.

    I don't want to have to take off your tranny again to redo the work... because that's what I had to do this last weekend at Brainerd.

    thanks for the help. ill probably take it out again a look at my work to see if anythings out of place. this is gonna be my third time. 1st time the clutch pedal wasnt getting hard even though i bleed the hell out of it. Now it wont shift into gear and now the pedal is hard.
