My first subbie! 02 WRX

[flat4turbo00]

Finally I got myself a subbie! I have been around subbies for some time now, my brother has one and few of my friends have/had them too so I knew what I'm getting myself into.
Always liked them and finally I own one, nothing special but as a first car I thinks its more than enough for me. Its a mostly stock 2002 WRX, but unfortunately its a automatic
Yeaa I know kinda lame but I got a good deal on it plus I cant drive a stick either
That could change real soon though since a friend of mine has offered me a good deal on a 5 speed out of a 2006 Saab 9-2x Aero, so my question is how much trouble would I have with swapping in that transmission ?
As far as I know that car is a WRX with different badges and body/interior, but I'm not 100% sure or if the tranny will work for me so if anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the car.

Tranny swap from Auto to Manual may be a bit tricky...I don't have any real advice on that.

If you need any parts otherwise, let me know.
