That's what I'm going to try to do, but unfortunately i just spent around 5 thousand on the auto. If i can get my money back I'm definately going to get the manual... but as for you; I'd screw the auto trans and get a manual before its too late. Putting in the manual apparantly is even cheaper than replacing the auto. Even if you need to take it away from the subaru dealer, I hear its worth it!
That would be awesome if I could... Unfortunately, this is extended warranty work and they will only replace with stock parts. That, and the fact that a manual would require custom work that would not be covered by warranty labor.

Has anyone ever attempted this through a warranty? I know I'll get pushback if I tried, but it would be good to know if anyone's ever been successful.
