I don't have that mentality when it comes to credit cards. I use them with moderation and in case of emergency. The reality of it is no matter the circumstance, my car may have to stay down until I have the cash in hand. I'm curious if I can work something out on pauls 6mt from an 04 as that would require the least amount of parts to be purchased. I'd really like to install the transmission as a project with friends. My crew showed a lot of interest in helping out to help a brotha out, and also just to see the 6mt up close being installed.

Likewise however I am treating it as a zero interest loan with the principal due after 6 mos (minus min payments). I hear you about using credit cards as debit though.
That 04 will slide right in, and you can reuse those new wrx axles you picked up a while back if you use new seals and stubs for the front diff (100 ish from subaru). Your rear is a 3.54 so you'll need the r180, rear axles and driveshaft. You can reuse your flywheel clutch and slave if they're new with the sti clutch fork, otherwise use the sti parts only.

Right that's for the 09 gears which is a bad *** option for the 5mt. I'm still a couple grand short on that job. Although a bit off topic, the question was, could a full legacy 5mt, complete case bolt right up? I don't have one, or a source for one but was wondering if they are compatible. Lastly, the new legacy gt has a 6mt. I know this will be pull vs push so some sort of conversion may be needed, but is the 6mt in the new legacy compatible or even the same as the sti 6mt?

thats awesome. If and wen i beat the cancer, when it's time for a new car, I will definitely look into the LGT. I liked them anyways. they are 265 hp i think.. does that mean they have the ej257 with wrx turbo mated to the 6mt?

Dude they're nice! I would buy one in a heartbeat if I could. But yeah I think they have a VF40(which is the current model WRX turbo) Though I could be mistaken since LGT's usually have different turbos then WRX. At least the JDM models...
