pretty much un-related, but being the owner of a 92
Subaru SVX, about 3 yrs ago our group finally mastered
the 5 spd conversion on our cars, but since they did it
many have found the next week link, being the clutch.
Its way more fun to drive, better mpg too, but they do
drive their cars harder and go thru clutches a bit often.

Good info though on your research, good luck.
