that's correct- and those Forester gears are the ones I have awaiting installation in my '08. The problem with the Legacy spec B gears is that even though they have the same ratios, they use the older narrow keyway. Subaru changed the width of the keyway on the (input? output?) shaft between 06 and 07. Barring other differences, it might be possible to use the spec B gears on an 04-06 sti, but you definitely can't use them on an '07-08 sti.
