Re: wats the best tranny for the 5 spd swap??

The Legacys with a 6 cylinder have not had a manual tranny in them (in the US)
And the Forester has never had a 6 cylinder stock

All Subaru 5 speeds are basically the same, the STi and WRX after 03 (I believe) have a slightly stronger gearset.
The only rear differences are the final drive ratio, and which will be better for you completely rides on what you plan to do with your car....

Drive it, or race it.....

Drive it...any 5-speed will hold up fine...

Race it...no tranny will last forever, just plan on tranny work/replacement...if you want to play, you gotta pay....
