Significant Technical Input Registered SVX
6mt Split Case Swap

Time to reignite the love affair with the SVX!

I'm looking at doing a 6MT swap that I haven't seen anyone else do yet....

a 6MT but the newer Split case design used on the 2010ish cars and newer.


From what I understand, it's the old 5MT case, but with an extra gear inside, and the shifting is done via cable instead of direct linkage.

Like this one:

I see a few positives here:
1. Less expensive than the STi duty 6MT
2. Less weight and bulk than the STi 6MT
3. Cable shifter so the linkages wouldn't have to be modified
4. Good ratios for highway cruising

Am I crazy or what?
