You're talking about a Legacy manual, right? If you do a Legacy autobox, you'll need to change your flexplate and the final drive in your rear diff (to maintain AWD). Not sure how long it will last, though. I bought my car in '99. The trans was replaced with a Legacy trans from a junked '91 (long story about how I found this out). They didn't bother to change the final drive, so the weird "shudder" I was having was actually the transfer clutch disintegrating. Still, I drove it for about a year before it went out (God knows how many miles were on the junked '91 tranny), so, I don't guess it did too bad.
