What I'd like to know IS: would it be worth sourcing a Euro spec Tranny with the rear wheel bias to put in? I'm going to have Level10 work it over before it goes in regardless, but I'm wondering which auto would be best? USDM? EuroSpec? VTD(?) ?
What differences could I expect? Do other members feel it's worth it?
Thanks,

The Euro spec SVX trans is the same as the JDM - has the VTD awd system and 3.70 gears. While a swap to a VTD trans would be great (due to rear bias), there'll be a good deal of re-wiring to do. Huck369 just completed a 4.44 VTD trans swap into an SVX so I'm sure he could give more advice in this department.
The beauty of a switch to 3.90, 4.11 or 4.44 gears from a USDM Subaru, is the relative ease of the swap. It takes ~10-12 hrs and is a direct plug-n-play with your factory wiring.
The choice is yours. If money wasn't an option, I'd get a similar 4.44 VTD set-up like Huck just did + the valve body upgrade from Level 10.
