ericpay Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm about to buy a 2005 Legacy gt and I'm wondering which of the two transmission type is the best or the most reliable? I'm a tuner at heart and the fact that electronics is doing the job on the 5eat is stopping me from buying one of those, which BTW are more numerous on the market than 5mt! Opinions please??

rtbrjason Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Tons of threads about this already and everyone has an opinion, but the manual is faster. The auto will need some fairly expensive mods to hold up to stage 2+ power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korntera Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Go with the 5MT, I am not happy with my 5EAT. As for which is more numerous it depends where you live, take a moment to fill out your profile. I am in Oregon and when I was looking could not find a manual so i bought an auto and regret it. Who knows though, maybe this week will be all manuals for sale, no way to tell.

rhe Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I have the 5EAT and I love it! ==> but I have arthritis in my right thumb and wrist so I had to sell MY02WRX as I was having trouble with all the shifting when in stop and go traffic in the city.

kram Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 If I had the choice I would get the 5MT any day. I bought my 05 LGT at a dealer auction, so I went with the best deal I could find which was the 5EAT. Can't say I dislike it...but doesn't compare to a manual IMO.
