[WYOSVX]

I have the WRX 5 speed in my '97. I wanted the best I could get, the meanest, toughest, baddest shifting car the SVX could be. Then I found out that you don't necessarily get higher gearing, you get more responsiveness throughout the same range by having the extra gear. Considering the limitations of the stock engine, I figured the 5-speed would be more than enough and it is soooo much more fun than the auto was. It seemed to me that the 6-speed was meant more for a boosted, hard-core SVX. Just my opinion on what I wanted. The 5 speed is a blast, transforms the car, without putting it in the hyper aggressive range. It feels right for my car. Unfortunately, the 5 speed definitely leaves me wanting more power. I can't imagine what the 6 speed would do to me. Sorry, don't know my gearing.
And, the CEL is on, though we took a stab at a solution. Eventually, I'll pull the bulb.
