[QUOTE="BlueByYou2004, post: 11452160, member: 127370"] Well, then I half retract my statement. Maybe the newer 6-speed sucks, but I still stand by the STi 6spd from 04-07. I'm going to do some more research on the matter as I can't think of one Subaru owner I know of off the top of my head that has had transmission problems and I know a lot of Subaru guys. That's the of course guys with the 6 speed as the 5 speed isn't worth talking about. Subarus will most certainly have engine problems. My buddy and I swapped an entire built motor in an 05 STi last summer because it decided to let go making less than 400whp cruising at 70mph. Snapped a rod and shredded the inside of the block. We are swapping an entire V7 JDM STi drivetrain (along with the interior from an o2 WRX) into his 95 GC8 chassis as we speak. Turns out the rear axles won't work so we have had to purchase a set of Legacy Spec-B axles and swap out the outers for the JDM STi stuff. I will say when you put the 6spd and 5spd side-by-side, you can see how much beefier the 6spd is. It's not a weak unit at all in my experience. [/QUOTE]
