Granted a CVT tranmission vs a run off the mill 5spd are two totally different beasts, and I wouldnt take a CVT tranny to just any hole in the all place. But for a Subaru 5spd... What makes it unique? Nothing.
P.S. I can fix the mac, PC, and have worked on a few SGI's.

I may have fixed a Mac or two in my time, but I wouldn't expect the school district to come looking for me to take care of their large scale Mac labs because I've worked on one or two in my spare time when my real bread and butter is PC's...
Any tranny mechanic COULD work on the Subaru 5MT, just like any mechanic could do a valve lash job on a 4.0l Lexus quad-cam V8. I wouldn't trust the results on the first try though.

Thanks a bunch.
I'm still putting my options together; waiting for Adam from Z-1 to call me back. 1st wish is for a complete tranny. 2nd in priority will be for gearsets.
