Hey Andrew,

When you say pretty sure they both wont fit... do you mean one of them will fit by itself???
or have i just misunderstood..?

I think he's saying neither will fit.

Gear boot is a completely different shape/design. May be able to be modified/butchered.
05 sti gear knob will be 6 speed, and hence have a different gear diagram on it.
Not sure about threads. Good chance they're different.


Edit: beaten

It's a conversion, i think your tail shaft and diff need to be either changed or modded plus a few other things.

It'll cost you anywhere between 6-9k roughly but it's all worth it in the end =p

MisterTwo & dtrally are the guys to see, throw them a pm for everything you need to know!
