alectheamazing Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 hey everyone. so first of all this is my first subaru and i dont know a whole lot about them so i will probably be asking alot of questions!!!! first off, i just bought my white '05 sti for 6500 its missing a tranny and all the turbo hoses. the hoses are no big deal im just going to buy new ones. my big concern is that when i went to pick it up it had a regular wrx 5 speed in it instead of the sti 6 speed. i was reassured by the guy the engine ran. being skeptical, i asked him to start it. when i turned the key, i heard one big clunk but the motor would not turn. would the wrx tranny keep the sti motor from turning over? and if not, would the ej20 trans work until i got an sti tranny? any insight into this problem i would greatly appreciate.

bratman18 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Unless the tranny was installed improperly, or there is a problem with the clutch etc. it would not hinder the motor at all. Sounds like another issue. Was the 5 spd completely installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Run from this "deal". You are very close to receiving the hosing of your life. Edit: Too late. Just reread original post and see you now own this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
