Make sure you get the 6 speed gear linkage as part of the deal. I have driven a converted 6 speed WRX that used the standard 5 speed linkage and changing gear was very hard work.
As long as you get all of the parts at the start (keep pushing for as many bits 'extra' as possible - Cash is king - then it is a very straight forward conversion and well worth doing.
I love my 6-speed (fitted into a classic)

UPDATE, Both boxes are now here from Subaru, both are still available and BOTH are dccd type
We have 1 only NEWLY Reconditioned BY SUBARU 6 speed box non Dccd type I bought 2 last week and one is reserved for a customer already. These are UK spec 6 speeds with a better [ for cruising ] 6th gear.
Call me on 01926 614333 and l'll tell you what you actually need to get it in your car. I have options for the conversion set that will give you a complete kit to suit most cars.
Beware of older 6 speeds as most brought in for us to fit that have been bought "cheaply" need over £600.00 + VAT spending on synchros and so to make them useable. AND if, as is often the case, that the viscous centre is knackered add a further £460.00 + VAT
Good luck, call if I can help. David
