Subaru manual transmissions, unlike their automatics, do not use a separate bellhousing like most doemstic RWD cars. The area used for the bell-housing (ineither a manual trans or an auto trans) is actually reserved for the front differential. You gotta take the entire trans and bolt it to the engine using fewer bolts than the factory intended and hope for the best.
