Problem is that the "new" one is automatic, and I want a manual. I looked through the service manuals and the gearbox swap to install a manual transmission (from our old car) to replace the auto seems straightforward and mostly bolt-on. I plan to do the seals on the engine, timing belt, etc., at the same time, since it's an engine-out job. Any potential pitfalls or advice?
This really depends on how hard you look/lucky you get. If you have to find each part separately then it can get spendy. If you pick up a wreaked car with everything you need it can be fairly cheap, like $500ish.
I have a similar question. Sadly, my 2009 Legacy 2.5i SE is an auto, and isn't the GT. (ugh. it was supposed to be given back to my parents, but never was.) I've been thinking about doing an engine/transmission swap to turn it into the GT.
The swap should be straight forward, seeing how you already have the parts. I would nix the hydralic to solid lifter idea. The stock cams are ground for hydralics, I would check your present cams for wear (flat cams). Mine have 180k on them and sound perfect. Changing with a good oil and filter to keep the engine clean is your best bet. Steven.
I looked into it still but figured its my only car, and I can't drop the 1200 I needed for the parts and incidentals. Your 2009 legacy is way more advanced and probably more headache to work on than my car.
A few minor gremlins still to sort out - we swapped the instrument cluster (both cars were within 1000 miles of the same mileage), too, and now the door opening lights no longer work in the instrument cluster (the red LEDs showing whether a door is open). Instead, the driver's door indicator comes on when the car is in gear and the headlights are on. Is this just a case of swapped wires? If I cannot resolve it, I am thinking of putting back the auto instrument cluster, despite the now-unused "D N R" indicator... Any help on this before I take out the dash would be appreciated.
Overall, if you cannot find a manual, the swap is highly recommended, but you'll need to keep the car to amortize it. In our case, it's the color I wanted, low miles, good condition, and I hope to keep it forever, so the $ 2000 plus the cost of the donor (which we already owned and otherwise could have sold) was worth it.
The only economical way to do it would be to buy a wrecked 09 MT (or at least a 4th gen but there are minor differences from year to year) pull off everything that's different, and sell the spare parts. Doubtful you'd ever get all the subsystems (ABS, cruise) to operate properly if you did it any other way, and then you'd wind up with a hacked-up car that would be much more difficult to resell than one with an intact slushbox.
I've done a few swaps like that (not on an 09 specifically) and it's worked pretty well for me, but I've been wrenching on cars for 20 years, I've got plenty of tools, room to work, other cars to drive, and a network of patient friends and dealer techs to reach out to for help when the need arises. I would strongly discourage anyone from attempting it on their DD.
Thank you Minuit!!! I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out this dang radio wiring! Your link is a life saver! Quick question though. How do I tell which is postive and negative? (I was looking at page SJ 29 in the 1990s jeeps manual)
Without looking at the pages you cited -- in general, negative always ultimately goes to ground, and the wires are almost always black or black with a tracer. Positive wires are colored, or colored with tracer. To find out where they come from, you may need to jump from one page to another to see what's on the other side of a connector.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) provides these superseded engineering documents only for historical and research purposes, not for current design. These former documents, manuals and guidelines are now obsolete.
Unless another 257-H owner comes up with a copy of the manual, there are none to be had online, and Toro no longer has them available for sale. The part number for the manual is 810562R1. I have tried the Toro manual site, and they say no manuals available. :(
Both say they're $2.40 from Toro parts. I'd suggest calling and ordering by phone at Toro customer service. Sometimes if you sweet talk them enough, they'll send you the manuals free and not charge you for them or the shipping.
Very interesting. If you go to the Toro web site, they tell you that manuals are no longer available, but they give you the part number for the manual (810562R1). However, if you do a parts search with that number, nothing is found. But if you search 810562, it finds the manual and you can buy it.
:banghead: That Toro wed site drives me crazy. Sometimes when i try to find something , it will ask for the model and serial number. I put all that in and it almost always says that one or the other of them is incorrect. sometimes i get mad and just give up. :*****:

This study investigates the relationship between manual muscle test scores (MMT) and quantitative isometric strength measurements (QIS). It also evaluates the implications of that relationship for design of therapeutic trials. Extension and flexion strength at the elbows, hips, and knees of 21 neuromuscular disease patients were tested a total of 26 times utilizing both MMT and QIS testing. Paired data were evaluated with Spearman ranked correlation coefficients, and then QIS was predicted from MMT using Lowess, a consistent form of nonparametric regression. Finally, the implications of the Lowess analysis for designing a therapeutic trial were evaluated. MMT and QIS measurements were significantly correlated in all movements tested. Lowess analysis yielded prediction errors ranging from 16 to 24% of QIS range. Analysis of the sample size needed for a therapeutic trial suggested that a protocol measuring MMT would require more subjects for the same level of statistical significance as a protocol measuring QIS. Since it was not possible to reliably predict QIS values from MMT scores, such conversions are not appropriate for clinical use. This inconsistent relationship between MMT and QIS carries major implications for the design of therapeutic trials. Since therapeutic trials are time consuming, expensive, and most centers do not have large numbers of individuals available, using QIS as an outcome measure is a preferable research design.
This Alternative Field Crops Manual addresses the need for detailed information on the production of a number of agronomic crops adapted to the upper Midwest. Our intent is to provide county extension agents and others in educational roles a concise, uniform source of information on those field crops which may be considered as alternatives to traditional farm commodities.The manual is a joint project between the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension Service, the University of Minnesota Extension Service and the Center for Alternative Plant and Animal Products. Extension specialists from both states have written or reviewed each chapter to insure accuracy and applicability of information and recommendations.
