Gen 2 Transmission in a Gen 1 Car

Is it possible? Do we know yet?

Allegedly the new transmission has stronger gears and iirc better shifting feel or something like that

would be pretty neat if it would bolt into gen 1 with little or no modifications.


anybody know?

Would love to know. And if it is true I expect to see bidding wars on wrecked 22 BRZs lol

It's the same transmission case. The only thing that might be different is the plugs on the 2 sensors. That is an easy fix though.

It is looking like the Gen 2 block and transmission will bolt right up to the same mounts. I think there are many people just waiting for someone to do the swap first and figure out the details.

I searched and found this link. It is not the original article but it seem that it is becoming more popular.

Putting this here since it looks like this was the last talk of this. My ‘13 has bad 3rd and 4th synchros so I’m swapping in a ‘22 trans. Some interesting things so far. I forgot how flimsy the stock mount seems. I’m swapping in my STI mount. The lever retainer where it attaches to the trans has more movement than I would have expected. Swapping in the aftermarket outer bushings that I had been using to tighten that up, in addition to my used Perrin rear bushing. The older control shaft is held in place on each end by a clip, whereas the new one has a snap ring on the rear where the shifter attaches. Possibly to help eliminate some rattles? The shift springs have the same paint on them old and new, so possibly exactly the same. I’m putting the used Mtec springs in. I’ll also be putting in Verus fork, pivot, and the used STI shifter.

How much did you pay for the trans? Was it from a totaled ‘22 recycler

Let us know how it goes! I saw one on eBay and almost bought it to see how it holds up to 400wtq
