I just picked up a 5 speed transmission and linkage plus the little hydraulic and spring carrier under the brake booster but I have ABS on my touring wagon.......

will i need to make new hard lines or is there another way around this??

???

All turbos have ABS, you shouldnt have to touch the brakes to do a 5-speed swap

What he said.

I just did a 5-speed swap to my '91 turbo w/ ABS. The closest I got to touching the brakes was removing the axle nut......

He is talking about the hill holder unit...

If I were you, I would just install the transaxle without the hill holder, although, it should be ABS compatible, since there were 5MT Legacies with Hill Holder
