Re: 6 speed consideration

I've also come across a 2012 6 speed (Code: TY856UW1MA), this should still allow me to keep the svx differential correct? There's so much information on the net that this gets pretty confusing, because the same transmission code is associated with 08 and 09 6 speeds apparently? Does the 2012 have a higher gear ratio? I understand i'll have to sacrifice some RPMS for casual driving, however I am not looking for a screamer, i.e. 2700 rpm at 60 mph.

So it looks like the 2012 rear ratios are as follows:

1st - 3.636
2nd - 2.235
3rd - 1.521
4th - 1.137
5th - .971
6th - .756
Reverse - 3.545
Final Drive - 3.9
Center Differential - 1.103:1

Will this center differential throw everything off?
That center diff is close but it may not be the same, What will need to be checked is what the rear diff gearing is for the 2012
I am thinking it won't be 3.54

also I got very lucky when I bought my 6 speed, I got it from a local subaru group member who was doing something drastic, making his wrx into a drag track car with an auto trans, he had bought this 07 6 speed a few years before and had bought it NEW when I got it there was only at most 12k miles on it.
