still a 5spd, but it's supposed to have double cone synchro's now.

What is the intended effect of the dual cone synchros? Anyone know?

The 04s have the double coned synchros also. I was just talking to a subaru mechanic the other day. couldnt really make sense of what he said about the function though.

a double cone synchro is better than a single, and worse than a triple.

essentially it allows for a faster, more aggressive shift while still allowing the gears to spool up.

from the fsm, the older trannies had single cone 1,3,4,5, triple cone 2, no synchro on r.

Essentially the more cones on a synchro, the faster the oil seeps out of the synchro allowing it to do its job much quicker. Thats why us Suby owners cant slam our gears without getting an ungly crunch like those honda's can.
