VW 4 speed rebuilt by Rancho Transmission; $775.

You'd want more than a rebuilt stock VW transmission with a 165-230 hp Subaru engine. You'd at least want to change gear ratios and the R&P so at least double the $775.

infamous SAS does as Jethro points out and puts the engine amidship with trans behind it, just like it was in the donor. They even use the Subaru suspension with ABS, disk brakes and the tight 100mm x 4 bolt wheel pattern. Plus you get a real trunk. Please don't send SAS a deposit though!

SubaruGears does have a kit for the 6 speed split case (TY751/TY756) - price appears to be the same as for the 5 speed.
