Subaru Transmissions We Cover

Real Subaru transmissions from our warehouse, tested and ready to ship. Pick the family, then the year page shows exactly which models and variants are in stock.

TR580 Lineartronic CVT

Impreza, Crosstrek, Forester, Legacy and Outback 2.5 (2012+). The compact chain CVT behind the FB20 and FB25 — our deepest Subaru line, and the ID tag on the case (TR580 plus suffix) is what fixes the calibration.

TR690 Lineartronic CVT

Legacy and Outback (2010–2014), Outback 3.6R, WRX (2015+), Ascent, Outback and Legacy XT 2.4T. The high-torque CVT — the WRX and Ascent units carry their own ID suffixes and do not swap with the 2.5 units.

5-Speed Manual AWD (TY75 Family)

Impreza, Forester, Legacy, Outback, Crosstrek, Baja (1995–2023). The long-running five-speed with the center differential built in — final-drive ratio changes by year and engine, so the rear differential must match.

4EAT 4-Speed Automatic AWD

Legacy, Outback, Forester, Impreza, Baja (1995–2010). The Phase 2 four-speed with the electronically controlled transfer clutch — shifter-switch plug and vehicle-dynamic-control versions are listed separately.

5EAT 5-Speed Automatic AWD

Outback and Legacy 3.0R and 2.5 GT (2005–2009), Tribeca (2006–2013), Outback 3.6R (2010–2014). The five-speed behind the six and the turbo — VTD and non-VTD versions differ at the center differential.

TY856 6-Speed Manual AWD (STI)

WRX STI (2004–2021), Legacy GT spec.B. The DCCD six-speed with the driver-controlled center differential — a different case, ratio set and rear axle from the WRX five- and six-speeds.

TY751 6-Speed Manual AWD (WRX 2015+)

WRX (2015+), Crosstrek and Impreza 6MT (2018+). The cable-shift six-speed derived from the five-speed case, not from the STI unit — viscous center differential, and the 2022-on WRX carries its own ID suffix.

TR580H Hybrid CVT

Crosstrek Hybrid (2014–2016), Crosstrek Plug-in Hybrid (2019+). The CVT with the motor built into the case — locked to the hybrid powertrain and year, never a substitute for a gasoline TR580.

Phase 1 5-Speed Manual and 4EAT (1991–1998)

Legacy, Impreza, Loyale (1991–1998). The early units behind the EJ22 and EA82 — FWD, 2WD and 4WD versions are listed separately, and the Phase 1 case does not bolt to a Phase 2 engine without the matching bellhousing pattern.

Why Buy a Used Subaru Transmission from Auto Power Source

Almost every Subaru transmission is an AWD unit with the center differential or transfer clutch built into the case, and that is what makes a Subaru match different from any other brand: the transmission, the final-drive ratio and the rear differential form a set, and the ID tag on the case — TR580, TR690, TY75, TY856 and their suffixes — is what settles it. Our 578 verified Subaru transmissions cover the whole run: the TR580 and TR690 Lineartronic CVTs behind every current Impreza, Crosstrek, Forester, Legacy, Outback, WRX and Ascent, the 4EAT and 5EAT automatics of the 1995–2014 cars, the TY75 five-speed and the TY751 and TY856 six-speeds behind the WRX and STI, the TR580H hybrid, and the Phase 1 units of the early-1990s Legacy, Impreza and Loyale.

Every Subaru transmission we sell has been pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Each unit goes through our six-step inspection — VIN-matching against the donor and against your vehicle, Shift-Testing through every gear under load, noise verification, full visual inspection of case, pan and bellhousing, multi-angle photography for your approval, and palletized freight. CVT units get a fluid-condition check and a chain and pulley inspection, and every AWD unit has its final-drive ratio confirmed against the donor axle code. Rejected units never reach the buyer.

You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for the same Subaru engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and have 30 days from delivery to return for any reason — no restocking fees. The warranty printed on the listing — with extended coverage up to 3 years available — covers you if anything goes wrong after install. Across 100K+ engines and transmissions in stock, we hold a 0% fitment-related return rate.
