I've got a 95 Impreza WRX Import and the gearbox is well basically rubbish. The gear ratios are too close for my liking.

Apparently, so I've heard is that the later classic shape (98 - 2000) has a better gear box but a different engine, can this gearbox be fitted to my engine?? Or is the whole set up totally different?

I also asked on Scoobynet as well, if I get a gearbox from a UK spec car then the diff has to be changed as well, if I manage to get hold of a Jap spec gearbox then I'll be fine.

The later cars have a slightly longer gear ratios from what I can tell (My car runs out of steam at 140mph), the later classic Imprezas seem to have a bit more, I could be wrong though.
