My brother inlaw just did a 5speed swap on his svx(93) and used a wrx trany,,, somthing cool we found, we took the front trany mounts(body) off of a 98 forester they were sheetmetal parts with a nut insert in them that the trans crossmember bolts to. they matched the slope of the svx firewall perfectly and welded in place it looks almost factory... so if you do the 5 speed swap maybe find some oem body mounts from a manual car that will work that way it all bolts up.(sorry this may not apply to the leg ive not looked under a 5speed vs auto) but its worth a shot in the dark...
