Now that I look at the FSM it looks like the 5MT bellhousing isn't separate from the transmission case. So I guess we have an integral bellhousing that is attached to the transmission case. The 1st separate unit appears to be the transfer case. Note I haven't inspected the drivetrain while under the vehicle with my actual peepers.

Wow. Just did some reading of the FSM on the main shaft assembly. To get the trans out, pulled apart, cleaned, main shaft disassembled and re-assembled and everything stabbed again takes 15+ pages of instructions and if you decide to use all of the listed special service tools you'll have to buy 34 of them! Whoa. 
I've done manual transmissions before on both domestics and imports. T-5's are cake (5MT in Fox body Mustangs, older Camaros, etc.). Lexus and Range Rover MT's are a *****.
Subaru's unit looks to be tougher than both of those import nuts to crack.

I spoke to the owner (Scott) two days ago. He did not buy back the car from the insurance company yet, but he did mention that he would buy it back if there would be some serious offers for the car or car parts.
Let me know if you are interested in the tranny and I'll introduce you to the owner. Or if you want the tranny, let me know what your budget is and I'll see what I can do. The owner is nice and very reasonable. He sold some parts to Andrew and I for dirt cheap.
PM me if you have any questions.

Pat, you can dissassemble the trans yourself and even remove the gear assembly's. But you should take the gears to to the dealer to get them replaced(if you decide to go the stock route) they need to remove and reinstall everything and a big press is something the average car nut does not have in their garage.
I'm looking to buy an A4 sometime in the next year or so as I'm tired of my tranny. But that new scion also catches my eye

I may not be able to read the reply on this, ubt I'm grinding into 4th above 4k RPM. (both up- and down-shift) What is this? My guess is Synchros but I don't know much about trannies.

Thanks Richard, Chris and Mitch.
First stop is calling junkyard. 2nd is talking to Scott (Mz_Keli's friend). 3rd and by far last (just because I'm a skeerdy kat) is pulling the tranny apart myself.

Why should it matter? A 5spd tranny should be the same as any other 5spd tranny.... Give em the tranny, the parts they need, and tell em "work on it beotch."

Tranny guy?
Is there not a guy that has a bussiness repairing transmissions?
I have forgotten his name.
He has fixed my fathers automatic trans and a friends fragged DSM trans.
He is well known in the local hot rod scene here on wahoo.
Recommended by the old and new hot rodders.
Cost effective also, labor was $150-$350 depending weather the transmission is out or not, parts not included of course.
He will even pick it up at your house and deliver it when done.

Drak and Anti,
That's some good stuff.
I'm not getting any special deals down at Schuman, but Braun is being very fair....so I'm still shopping around.
