5mt and AWD fuse?
I was doing a little searching and I have a question...
On a manual transmission with AWD, is there a spot to put a fuse in to make it front wheel drive? I couldn't find it this morning. On my way to school I ran over a block of 4X4 wood dead on and it bent my back rim (2002 WRX rim). Now I have the spare on and it is slightly smaller than the set up I have on there currently. It'll be a few days before I can replace the rim. Will I be putting undue stress on my AWD system driving it this way for a short period of time? Anyone have a spare rim....cheap?

No FWD fuse for the 5MT, its AWD all the time. Running the smaller spare will put some stress on your center and rear diff. If the rear diff is an open (non-LSD) it wont do it much harm, but the center will see some slip/heating, you should really try to limit the miles and speed, a little driving around town shouldn't cause any damage.
If you're going to run the WRX wheels/tires you should grab a WRX spare too, should be cheep at the JY.

Isn't the Legacy spare tire the same size as the WRX spare tire? I thought I remembered them being the same size, but I might be wrong.

It may be, I'm really not sure. I don't like the idea of running around on the donut until I can find a replacement. I drive around 75-100 miles a day. I know when I compared the 14" wheel/tire to the 16" wheel/tire the was more than just tread depth so I basing my judgement on the size of the spare to the 14's I took off. Maybe the 14" tires are not the correct size.

The spare tire in your car is the same size as the stock wheels on the car. I'm fairly certain that Subaru would make sure they are the same size to prevent AWD damage...

I don't know about the turbo legacy, but I can tell you that the n/a legacy spare is smaller in diameter then the WRX spare tire. I bought a WRX spare tire, since the stock spare wouldn't fit over any of the calipers.
