5MT Transmission swap!!! BD/BK/BG 5MT -> BE/BH 5MT

[nepbug]

I have a 00 Legacy GT wagon, recently my driveshaft tore apart at the u joint. I thought that all subaru 5MT should fit as a replacement. i picked one up from a local guy, but it was significantly shorter(im thinking it was auto or 6 spd).

my question: should any subaru 5MT driveshaft fit for my needs? IE wrx, rs, older legacy. these are more available than 5spd BE ones

You need a bd/bg or be/bh 5mt legacy drive shaft. Impreza or Forester won't be the right length and Outback will have the wrong center carrier bearing.

I don't know for sure, but would lean towards no. There might be some length measurements out there somewhere you could use to check, or maybe even in the FSM. I've got personal experience mixing generations between BD/BG and BE/BH though and know that for certain.
