Re: Any one/shop that does 5spd conversions?
My 5 speed swap was from a WRX. I can't speak for other choices but I know that when I gassed it on my gravel driveway it spewed chards at all 4 corners. The car was also literally unstoppable in snow. The downside, and this depends on what you're after, is that it also had a very tall final drive. I liked it -- thought it fit the refined GT character of the car. But if you're looking for 0-60 times you might want to look at alternatives.
One thing I'm sure of is that it transforms the SVX. Oh, if only Subaru had offered a manual.
