However, the new 6 speed for the legacy will be a split case design like the wrx 5 speed, and very possibly just as weak.
Hopefully its not weak. I'm hoping Subaru has finally learned from their old glass trannies. The 09 WRX now has a beefed up tranny as well, so i'm sure they gave it a substantial tranny to cope with the torque increase. I read an article that talked about how they couldn't offer an automatic tranny because they didn't have one that coped with the increased torque, so they had to go with the 6 spd manual gearbox.
