No, but it really isn't that hard to do.

the WRX and STi manual transmissions will work with the stock diff if they have a 3.90 final drive and a 1.1:1 ratio in the transfer case.

I'm not sure of the years but the 2004 and 2005 6spds DON'T have the 1.1:1 reduction and the 2006 STi 6spd does.

I would love to have a manual tranny if I buy the SVX I'm looking at, but I don't think I have the time, money, or craftsmanship to do a swap like that. I'd probably have to trick the computer into thinking it was an auto installed too.
So now I've just got to find myself an auto tranny and rear diff that will work.
