And before anybody asks, it's behind the current spec 2.5 turbo with 195kw and 300nm of torque. More than enough for an SVX.

Just my two bobs worth.

Just FYI... the '10 Legacy GT's 6MT... is a 5MT + another gear. from what I've read, the 5MT was a 4MT+1 before...

50/50 AWD. No VTD, No DCCD.

And it is cable shifted, not linkage shifted... not sure what implications that will have to retro-fit, and the shift action on the '10 is reported to be less direct.

And don't use the 05-07 Legacy GT clutch. 06+ WRX 5MT single-mass flywheel, and aftermarket clutch, or substitute an aftermarket flywheel as well. The OE 05-07 Legacy GT clutch is not that great for holding power, feel, or wear... and slipping even just a little bit makes the most horrible smell. That is something I do have experience with.
