your Automatic. Just get a pair of new axles seals for the AT so you can install them into the 5mt

I have done it. it works. The inner diameter of the seals seat is identical. The only change is that you can change the seal without removing the side plates like you did before. The auto stubs fit with auto seals plain and simple

What, do you think Subaru knows how to build 5 speeds that don't work like crap? Just be happy you have one of the best shifting real SVXs on the planet and actually change your fluids in it properly, you'll get another 200k out of it! No need to join the hack'em up b/c I'm too cheap to keep my tranny running so I downgrade to a sloppy 5 speed brothers.
