I am Currently in the process of doing a 2.5 swap and I found a 5spd tranny from a 05 impreza 2.5rs

How hard would it be to put this tranny in my 96 BD???

any info is appreciated

As long as it bolts to the engine, it should fit without any issues.
You'll want to make sure that the driveshaft will fit and that the rear diff matches.

so, a 05 tranny will bolt up, okay.....now what about the rear diff and all the wiring, does somebody have some sort of a wiring diagram???

also, do I need a differant crossmember, I was reading about the wrx conversions, and you need a differant crossmember, but this tranny is from a 2.5rs, so I dont know....I have been searching for a good 2 hours but I can't seem to find anything

non-turbo will work fine with non-turbo... it's only when you're swapping to a turbo engine that you need a new crossmember & swaybar.
