Significant Technical Input Registered SVX
Yes you can use the Legacy Auto tranny, but you'll need to also get the rear diff(to swap the ring and pinion into your LSD Diff), and the Legacy flywheel & Torque Converter, All Legacys have a lower gear ratio ranging from 3.90, 4.11s, 4.44s, the 4.11s being the most common.

I believe this will make the SVX a much quicker car, though you'll lose the capability to cruise at 155mph but I never go that fast anyway.

It will also lower the stress on the tranny, which should make it last longer....but don't forget to install an aftermarket tranny cooler!
