You might want to P.M. BAN SUVS; IIRC he said something about getting the title for his wrecked 2.5RS lately, and AFAIK he was going to keep the wreck to part out (or something). Good luck!

IIRC, the complete list of parts you'll need are:
tranny
shift linkage
shift lever
shift ****
shift boot (well, not totally necessary i suppose, but would be hella ghetto without!)
clutch
clutch master cylinder
clutch slave cylinder
clutch fluid lines
MT pedal set
MT ECU (maybe? Matt was saying that you don't need to swap out the ECU on Subarus)
Flywheel set (with the pressure plate, pilot bearing, and throw-out bearing)
and if you're swapping in a tranny that has different gear ratios (which, since you have an L, unless you're swapping in an L MT, it'll probably have different gear ratios), you'll probably want to swap out the rear diff too (unless you like your gears wearing out prematurely that is).
while you're at it, this is a great opportunity to throw on a short shifter, front LSD, and a lightweight driveshaft & flywheel, as well as a stronger clutch!
(by the way, if i missed any parts, or listed too many, someone please correct me!)

straight cut sounds so nice. especially with a dogbox. you'll sound like a wrc car.
they cost a grip though. Something like 5k+.
