I'm interested in this too.
You'd think the later year WRX ones would be the best after the 6 speed of course, but the Legacys handle the EZ30 well enough so they probably have some durability.

Re: wats the best tranny for the 5 spd swap??
I didn't think EZ30 Legacies had an option for a manual.
Also, on a side note: Wolfy, there is an "H" in "what". Not to be a nitpicker, but with all of the questions you ask, I have not seen you spell it correctly once.

Re: wats the best tranny for the 5 spd swap??
The Legacys with a 6 cylinder have not had a manual tranny in them (in the US)
And the Forester has never had a 6 cylinder stock All Subaru 5 speeds are basically the same, the STi and WRX after 03 (I believe) have a slightly stronger gearset. The only rear differences are the final drive ratio, and which will be better for you completely rides on what you plan to do with your car.... Drive it, or race it..... Drive it...any 5-speed will hold up fine... Race it...no tranny will last forever, just plan on tranny work/replacement...if you want to play, you gotta pay....

Re: wats the best tranny for the 5 spd swap??
you can get a 5spd and just put a 3.9 in the tranny and u can use your stock diff.
personally from what i've heard from friends and known friends who broke wrx 5spds i'd only feel comfortable with a 6spd sti
