Love this topic!
Wan't one for my rex so bad.
Just spent less than $4,000 on my 67 camaro putting in a 6 spd Richmond trans. $8,000 for this one seems excessive but rather than spend $3,000 for another 5 spd sure to explode I'll probably do it. If this thread doens't have full details by that time I'll take pics myself!

I was hoping for more details on exact differential options. LSD and open are most common with this swap.
I just installed one this weekend and am trying to figure out what to do for the rear end. Possibly KAAZ LSD with 3.90 ratio mated to my automatic impreza drive shaft. Hopefully I can add this info to the thread as I learn more.

for $8k I'd have to be real damned sure it won't die no matter what I do to it....
EDIT: Gruppe-S has it with the DCCD and LSD for $6800, w/ just LSD for $5500, and w/o LSD for $5000. I might look into the w/out LSD option, as my planned RWD conversion will necessitate some huge Kaaz or Cusco unit back there anyway....

I may have skipped over the answer to this question, but what is the reason for why they dont release fully tuned manfacturer cars such as the sti or even skylines or other models that japan and europe have here in America??? does it have to do with our emissions here in the USA (i know its harsh in California) but what about elsewhere in the US??
what difference does a 6mt have from a 5mt that would prevent the 6mt from being installed in the japanese cars here...why do they have to tear it out and slap in the 5 (i think the answer to this question was already answered?) thanks
