You can use hydraulic non turbo transmissions by simply swapping over the fork and few other bits from your current trans in the car.
And yes, you'll have to mess around with the rear to swap the LSD over if you change gear ratios.
Thanks. Checking the ratios listed here I have an idea of what to replace it with. I currently have found a lot of 200x-2007 2.5i impreza 5spds for 500 bucks (pickup local). According to the chart the final drive is 3.9, assuming it has the VSS like Nate pointed out should these work?
