Ah yes, sorry, it was Weddle I was thinking of.  Kennedy do the Subaru

ISTR last time I looked at this it was about $3500 (not including fitting)
based
on an exchange with your existing 4 speed model.  If you have the energy to
look I suspect that you may actually be able to import a re-conditioned one
from
the UK or Europe for considerably less, or if you have contacts over there a
straight second hand one from a breakers yard (US = wrecking yard?).  Just
Kampers in theUK may be able to provide some info.
