Manual Swapping my daughter Devin’s 2.5 RS Subaru Impreza.

After years of driving automatic transmissions and wanting a manual transmission my daughter Devin finally got her wish with a 5 speed manual transmission for her 2000 2.5 RS Subaru Impreza thanks to the iWire crew for hosting and making this transmission swap so fast and easy. Now Devin has to learn and get comfortable driving with the extra pedal. Join the conversation by commenting below. Thanks for watching.

The stall!! We’ve all been there. It’s always nerve racking.

[@fifthhorsemanstrengthco.9224]

I stalled test driving one off the lot. And on an incline with traffic behind in the test drive going from a mopar clutch to Subaru ahhahahahha the guy hit me with “want me to do it” 🫠🫠🫠🫠

[@reaganstanczak7940]

Gave me flashbacks to when I stalled in front of three 18-wheelers right after driving my STI of the lot. They all honked at me but I imagine it was a tease honk, not a hurry honk.

[@doubledown8229]

Such an awesome dad. The RS is so sick too!

[@wademiyataki9221]

Great anti-theft device install video! Awesome to see that your daughters don’t mind getting their hands dirty! Love the story on the car. Looking to find a good home for the car, but she sold it to you anyway! 😁 Totally Kidding! She got her wish! Subaru needs to develop a Lasek edition, just because of the love that your whole family has for their vehicles.

[@zacktrafton2749]

Iwire recently did my auto to 6 speed swap on my fxt with an STI swap. It's insane how seamless and amazing it came out! Legit like an OEM Forester STI harness. They are by far the best at what they do. THANK YOU IWIRE!!

[@iwiresubaruwiringsolutions5538]

Glad we could help Zack!!

[@jasonprice1871]

Brother you amaze me how much of a good father you are you definitely take care of your family well You're a good guy car looks great That's awesome

[@buckyeah3382]

Thank you

[@GunsmithBeard]

14:25 that is an awesome moment teaching someone how to drive stick for their first time! MAGIC!!!!

[@G4Disco]

Pro Tip: EJ25D powered Legacy and Foresters use the same pedal assembly as the GC. I installed a '97 Outback pedal assembly in my '95 Impreza. Perfect fit.

[@josebermeo9042]

Amazing , and father daughter connection, hope to be there one day ❤

[@buckyeah3382]

It’s highly recommended 🤙🏼

[@Mike-dn4ju]

I hope my soon to be born baby girl is this stoked on saving the manuals too!

[@brianho4657]

I love how down to earth bucky is and how much of a Subaru fan he is. Love it. Come visit Michigan bucky we got a good Subaru following here!

[@MW-qv3vz]

Love it when she said Awww sh!t! Haha. Can totally relate though learning stick. Worst was being on a hill at a red light and someone was right on my butt. Glad you’re getting to spend quality time with another daughter working on cars. Good times!!!

[@actontreadway1168]

this video was the best, even though it's only been out 5 minutes and it's 16 minutes long.

[@ttpnw1776]

Super helpful and the guys at iWire are clutch, spoke to them a couple times about future projects and even though I am a couple years out from being ready they were super helpful and happily answering my questions! Much love 🤘

[@TheSometimesBuilds]

I just relived my first time driving a manual watching this. The feels! The frustration! 100% you got this!

[@getnanoed]

Bucky making himself synonymous to Impreza swapped machines!! Love it!!!

[@angeloah]

Buckin ay dude and dudette, congrats on the new 5 speed, watching her first drive took me back to 96 when I bought my first manual and didn’t know how too. The laughs as I over rev’d and started to burn the clutch. You’ll get the feel for it and love it. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘

[@aaronredbaron]

yay!!! manual swap all the things! I would manual swap my minivan if my wife would let me... (she won't, I tried)

[@ConnerSpeed6]

Holy hell... I want this car so bad! Nice one by everyone, and congrats to Devin for the badass ride!

[@ryanrowe1975]

I love this drive of Devin driving 🚗 and she can a better experience to take a lot of studying and more experiences until she has enough studying 📖 and learning of the basics to drive a transition car automatically 😊 will take place to place to your destinations safely without any accidents or maybe car car crashes of major damage. Keep up the great video Bucky Lasek!💥🔥💯😎🤗🤑🙏🆒️💚🤍🖤🦅🦅🦅🏀🔵🔴⚫⚪

[@ryanrowe1975]

Enjoy the driving and having fun while taking a lot of chemistry/studying and learning enough to learn how to drive a transition car 🚗 automatically hopefully Devin can be able to get enough help from driving school to driving safely.

[@ragnarsilverboard6803]

Devin is a big personality, she could have her own yt channel! I hope we see more of this car, paint job?

[@denistroshin8732]

You are the coolest dad ever

Best part “her face at the red light”

[@buckyeah3382]

My best friend bought a 2001 2.5rs new. I was with him. I wish I had bought one too. Sweet car guys!

[@sergioshredzpreciado3373]

I love it, "aaww shit" was what we all pretty much said lol 👌💯🔥

[@VBshredder]

Big points for Master Of Puppets reference at 10:42! Edit: She does a great job driving that car!

[@MrGrenadeGod]

Fugazi at the end!!! Dude you're awesome!

[@gen3v8]

Hats off to you sir!

[@AustinKloud]

That first drive reminded me of my first manual drive….. my grandma’s 1962 Chevy truck, 4 on the floor. I was 11 years old in 1982 driving that thing around her farm in Texas. 😂 *I can’t imagine learning to drive manual in town. I spent months out on a farm driving around.

[@Wolfwood0011]

LOL that's me and my son currently. trying to teach him to drive my 17 WRX. you got this Devin!!!

[@droman608]

Dominic is looking at this and chances are you’ll be invited to the next bbq. #family 😎

[@cookieintune]

First video of te day still sleepy , I'm like oh Paris talks way more on this video , oh wait 🤣 Fun fact i have car license for 18 years and never drove an auto transmission 🙂 Ps : they aren't common here and i hate it , simply makes sense and we get another video , go bucky ! #savethemanual 🙏

Gotta love California cars. 20 year old car, not a spot of rust, bolts come out easy and don't break, undercarriage looks like a new car. I'm jealous.

[@morgangleave8518]

So cool... REALLY enjoying seeing these videos Bucky. Devin will be ripping in no time!

[@jonathanlynn843]

Saving up to get my car manaul swaped can’t wait 😩

[@hardcorevega3492]

Funny he said exactly what i was thinking Ive been a fan of bucky since thps2 and i just found out he had another daughter🤣

[@maverick2242]

Lol Awesome episode, think I remember ya mentioning another daughter way back on another vid, sic car, enjoy that drive at the end, Devin just needs to relax. It will come. Even better it has the 5spd, which is fine when stock, actually better Imo (stock) and the Kart Boy setup will really make it sic. Just need to swap out those seats now for some STI GC seats eh 🤘

[@Gunma_garage]

You guys and Flatirons are my go to Subaru source! Thanks so much for the info, my 02 Bug wagon I just scooped up is an auto....I cant wait to dig in

[@vinbags]

Love that car...Lance likes to party!!!

[@Storyracing387]

Well....the apple didn't fall far the tree 😁 One big happy Subi family!!

[@PerfectRumble]

Nice story behind the rs! Also it's very cool to see one more classic impreza on your channel!

[@dowroa]

+BuckYeah - I can only hope my daughter are as cool and understanding with cars as yours! Thank you for sharing!

That's parenting done right.

I do the same thing Bucky I buy cars and try to convince my wife and myself that I bought them for the kids

[@28apex]

I wish Lance and Brian were my friends ! You to Bucky !😉 Cool deal with the hat bro !

[@dansecord383]

Straight up thought dude was Johnny Knoxville in the feed🤣🤣🤣

[@vivalapete7504]

This was a great one. Specially seeing your daughter stall. Brings back memories to my teenage yrs. The stress of stalling in public!! Lol… that being said, what STI would you recommend as a fun 2nd car??? RS seem to be getting up there in yrs and $$$

[@buckyeah3382]

I think finding the right car for the right price is key.

[@ericlanam4265]

Good guy Bucky doing good guy stuff. Hat's off to you!

Now add a decent exhaust (oh and a decent looking steering wheel) 😜🤙🏻

Totally agree exhaust with UEL manifold (headers) new age sti high ratio steering rack, nice steering wheel WrX interior keep the mint RS seats for IF & when it's sold, it's a Lasek car after all It needs to get them mods😎😎👍

[@Holtenstein]

Gretta isn't too bad. Have they tried Dirty candy, Rivel Sons, or The Darkness? All kinda similar bands. Love the manual swap. When I did my STi swap over, I did it in the driveway on stands by myself. I'm definitely gonna want a lift and a friend if I were to do it again. And for all that effort, I might just have to do a 6-speed. Although that's totally overkill in this case. Great job everyone! cheers

[@teejayhoward]

Was that her first time driving stick? 'Cause, man, it reminded me so much of my first time! I betcha EVERYONE who's got the manual skillset has been there - stopped a green light, accidentally stalling the vehicle, and someone behind you who's in a rush.

[@buckyeah3382]

She’s driven one before but it’s been a while.

[@BobWeaver3000]

6:20 -ish .... epic!

might of missed it but is this a 5 speed from a wrx? or another 2.5rs

It was from a Fozzy but it’s been swapped since to another 2.5 transmission.

Good afternoon sir. I have a 2004 Subaru Forester xt automatic transmission vehicle. It has 236 thousand miles. I believe it the original trans. And I think it’s going. Hard shifting when cold becoming normal after warmup. I’ll drive from Rancho Cucamonga tonight to relieve you of the Impreza transmission. Let me know if that’s okay with your schedule. Thanks again (subiedad87).

Sludgeboxes (automatics) are boring to drive whereas cars fitted with a 21st century theft deterrent (manual/stick) is more fun to drive as you're actually DRIVING the car and not just steering it!
