Quote "The 5mt is a true 5 speed, at least all the ones I have or had are/were. Subaru had the 5mt that could take the torque of the EG33, they chose not to use it because the tuning of the engine was for an auto and the job to rematch to a 5mt would not be suitable for the limited US market it was aimed at, since most want auto. All I am saying here is forget the 5mt solution because the engine is not suitable; so another sub optimal solution. I have tried many permutations and have arrived at the conclusion Subaru did a really good job with the design and no backyard engineer is going to do better." Seems to be a very definitive statement on the 5mt. If this is incorrect from the experience of owners who have done the conversion, it must cast doubts on the authors accuracy ragarding the 4eat
