please help need to know trans question

i am going to do a manuel trans conversion but need to know what years of impreza trans will hold up to the weight of the svx.

tom told me that any trans from a Ej series engine will work.

i have found a 2001 5 speed trans from a 2.5 rs impreza would this one hold up to the svx? or should i look for a newer one?

any info would would be great

The answer to your question varies greatly depending on what you plan to do with your car....

If you plan to drive it like a normal car, any Subaru 5-speed will hold up fine...

If you plan to drag race it and do clutch dumps, then NO Subaru Tranny will hold up to it....but there are a few that are stronger than others....but if it is to be abused, any Manual tranny will fail over time, on ANY car.....if you wanna play, you gotta pay.....
