Well, it seems this box comes in several flavors in many cars.

I see the S15 listed there. I remember when that came out people were grenading them so I guess this box doesn't have a lot of extra beef in it. I see the Miatas seem to have got one, would that box be close?
This whole state of affairs concerns me. The rental that I test drove had a synchro going out so it seems like a forgone conclusion on that part. I beat the living crap out of a gearbox too so it's especially problematic. I will let Subaru swap boxes for me under warranty, but if somebody doesn't come up with an answer before that expires I am going to have a problem. Right now the repair parts are expensive, but is there likely to be secondary sources for the parts at some point?
