For a full conversion you will need
* flywheel
* clutch (Might as well get a HD)
* starter motor
* gearbox (obviously)
* gearbox mount (6MT is larger and lower than the 5sp - I recommend getting a group N mount)
* driveshaft (or an auto driveshaft - same length)
* R180 rear diff
* R180 suitable rear driveshafts
* shifter
* shifter boot (redlinegoods will do you one, get a new handbrake boot, console cover and steeringwheel recover while you are there)
* 5.1 L of 75W90 synthetic gearbox oil for the gearbox and diffs
Note that the 6MT ratios are not all the same - STi ratios are shorter, and ideally you want to get all your gear from a donor liberty. In fact - if you're looking to DIY the conversion, buying a 6MT liberty write off would be ideal - but you need the space, the tools, the time, the ability and the inclination. Also note that the 6MT in a WRX or a 5th gen liberty is not an STi based 6MT like a gen4, they are not stronger, they just have an extra cog.
If you know what you are doing and you can get the car high enough to get the gearbox out safely, you could do the swap in a day pretty easily. Obviously much eaiser on a hoist with a gearbox jack.
