auto-to-manual conversion?

Apparently JC Sports in Denver, Colorado can do it, but it costs 4500. I wish there was a cheaper way :-/. Poor SVX.

dont do it man. I've seen several SVX's that have been SOLD for less than that!!! Kepp it locked up and keep the miles down, its the forgoten stuff like the svx that becomes a classic some day.

Get a 1992 Legacy manual tranny and bolt that up...

1992 Legacy Manual ?????? Will the differential and Gear ratio match up ? Does the Legacy have everything needed to convert it or are other parts necessary ?

I have an SVX with a bad tranny and a Legacy with manual which is why I ask

For a 5 speed swap into an SVX the GC Impreza is the best donor vehicle. Either 2.5 RS or ANY WRX pre-1999. The pedal box, mildly modified, Clutch cable, gearshift lever, along with the rear diff gears will be needed. There's a GREAT writeup here: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=54258
This is written by the acknowledged "originator" of the 5spd swap into an SVX, and is widely accepted as THE swap bible.
