(also what gear ratios and diff ratios do you prefer for 5 speed)
I have driven Stock, and 2 different 5 speed Svx's.
I really hope to run 6 or 8lbs of boost in the future, nothing radical just a little extra go power.
My tranny upgrade budget is $1500 for parts. My labor is free.
thank you

Be aware that putting a manual transmission in a 96 will give you a check engine light.
I have a 4.44 auto which is nice compared to the stock, and gets even better with the subiechips tcu and a quick change kit, but overall I like the WRX 5 speed swaps best, that is what I would go with if doing it again. I didn't like the 6 speed I drove as much, but that may because I am not used to 6 speeds and heavy clutch.
