Let's talk Group N mounts and shifters

So I am about to do a 4EAT to 5SPD swap in my 92 Legacy SS. My list of parts I have so far include:

5spd tranny
driveshaft
rear diff (4.11)
all mounting hardware taken from donor car
shifter assembly
Exedy lightweight flywheel
Exedy PP and clutch

Now I've read a lot about the Group N tranny and engine mounts that would seem to be a smart thing to do when I do this swap. So far the only place I've found that has them is rallispec.com

Here is the link to the engine/tranny mounts

http://www.rallispec.com/prod_mount.htm

Part #'s are RST-4100 STi Group N Engine Mount Set $120
RST-4101 STi Group N Gearbox Mount 5MT $75

Is this a reasonable price?

Next is I've heard a 5spd shifter from a wrx bolts right into a legacy

http://www.rallispec.com/prod_trans.htm

Scroll down to STI short throw shift linkage

Part #'s RST-3500 Quick Shift Linkage 5MT $287
RSTL-350 Quick Shift Linkage 5MT Leg. + MY08 Imp. $287

Out of those two options which would be the recommended one and would it work?

thanks for any help to this. I've searched a lot and have found a lot of info on the tranny swap and I'm looking forward to getting it done.

to much $$ IMO. I would make your own "kit" . use a 02-07 wrx shift linkage assembly then buy a short shifter & upgraded rear/pivot/front bushings.


if you do the group N tanny mount, get some tranny cross member bushings too

you're missing the pedal box.

haha sorry my bad, got the pedal cluster as well, and a MT gauge cluster.


Also with a bit more thinking, seeing as this car is just my winter driver I don't think I need to go all out on the shifter assembly. I could get away with just new bushings and keep the stock legacy assembly.

switch to the newer style then at least you"ll have abillity to upgrade shifter parts later. you can get used wrx linkage for free-$30

And i hear its a BAD idea to switch the cluster. It screwes something up. I just kept my auto one. You can't even notice it.
Oh you'll need a speedo cable though.

You don't need the whole speedo cable, just the part that attaches to the transmission.

I didn't have to do anything for my speedo cable. Have you run across my write-up yet?
