Re: Spec B swap
I think your main problem will be finding one at a reasonable price, there are a lot fewer Spec B's out there than STi's. Brand new it will probably ring in somewhere around $3500 for the transmission alone. Also, I seem to recall something about the speed sensor being a different setup than the one in the SVX/STi, although I think there's a kit that will make it compatible. I love the transmission in my Spec B. 100 kph/62 MPH is around 22-2300 RPM. With a Kartboy short shifter and bushings it's a treat to drive.
One thing I'm not familiar with is the final drive setup. In the 2007 STi transmission I have in the SVX the FD is 3.90, but it uses a 3.54 rear diff. This is because in the AWD transfer there is a 1.1:1 reduction gear. I don't know if the Spec B transmission follows this principle or not. From what I've heard the internal construction is different from the STi, using narrower keyways on the gears for instance, so I don't know how far the mechanical differences go.
