yes you can break the rear clutch basket The ones you have seen are from what years?

Unfortunately in the early years they wanted a AWD that could be put on a 2WD dyno.
This was due to US emissions standards testing, not because they wanted to.
Starting in 2002 VTD boxes became used on various high level US models. 02 wrx, 02 VDC outback, and then spreading to other turbo and H6 models later on.

As for the OP's initial post, get the 6 spd as soon as you can and don't be shocked when the autotragic grenades. that is all
