Just out of curiosity?

Not that I would do the swap to a manual transmission, but I am just curious why no ones done a swap for an STi 6-speed tranny in there SVX. It seems like that might be something someone would find fun to do... I guess there must be some kind of dissadvantage?

I personally am fond of my automatic, I am not fond of shifting through gears in traffic, I guess I am getting too old for that kind of extra work. BUT, it seems to me also that if a manual from a legacy suits right up a different automatic might work too? Aren't there any other automatics that might work on the SVX that might be more "reliable".

Just thought it might be fun to hear what kind of options there might be out there for us... even an on demand 4X4 tranny from something like a pathfinder seems like it might be mechanically possible (I have no idea about electronically though?)

So what options are there besides the obvious legacy, wrx, imprezza tranny and the SVX 4eat?
