SVX 5-speed tranny swap

Thanks Chris!!!!!!!!

Is there anyone in the Toronto area that's done a conversion from auto to stick ? I've heard theirs a mechanic/shop in Guelph, Ontario who can do the conversion, is this true?

There's less than a handful of 5 speeds in Canada (3 by my count)

I'm not sure but I believe awdrocket92 has a 5 speed and would be the closest to you. The other 2 would be my dad and myself.

If there are other 5 speed owners in Canada that I'm not aware of I hope they chime in.

Well not yet - but I've purchased the car, transmission ('03 WRX) etc. It looks like the conversion will start in mid-October with plans for completion by the end of November. I'll let you know.

When did you complete your swap and how long did it take?

Does anyone know if there has ever been 5 manual SVX's in the same place? I know we've had 4.

I know this is a relatively old post, but I just wanted to say, I used to live in the Soo, and had my SVX for my last 9 months there and only saw 2 others the whole time I lived there. One of which was the first one I'd ever seen, a Claret '93, back in summer of 1999 at Northside Toyota (some dumbass traded it on a Lexus SUV). The other was a green one, not sure what year, only saw it once.

Anyway, just wanted to ask where you found your car, and more importantly, where you had the swap done. Was in done locally? I asked around and most people I talked to didn't want to touch it. Mister Transmission (on Pim) said they'd do it, without asking any questions or hesitation, and that kind of made me nervous.

Anyway, I still haven't had the swap done, but if someone up there did it, maybe I can make the trek back this year to have it done...
