Subaru Transmissions

From high performance to low maintenance, Subaru transmissions offer you excellent efficiency in an all-wheel drive vehicle.

Lineartronic^® CVT

It stands for Continuously Variable Transmission, and this  innovative technology has been engineered to work seamlessly with the  SUBARU BOXER®     engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to help reduce fuel consumption.  The stepless gear ratio allows the engine to run within its optimal  power range for      improved fuel economy, while its lightweight, compact design helps the  vehicle stay as agile as it can be.

In Automatic Mode, it adjusts instantly to match your acceleration,  eliminating the need to shift and preserving the vehicle's momentum  often lost with conventional      automatic transmissions. In 6-Speed Manual Mode, paddle shifters are  mounted for fingertip control, giving you the power to select the gear  ratio that best suits your      driving situation. The result is a sharper and sportier driving  experience.

Available on: Outback, Legacy, Impreza

Automatic Transmission with Manual Shift Mode

Refine the performance of your automatic transmission with  smooth-shifting Manual Shift Mode technology. Working with 4-speed and  5-speed      automatic transmissions, you can take control of the gears when you  need greater precision, like climbing hills or passing vehicles, and  then settle back into      automatic when you don't. Easy. Efficient. Brilliant.

Available on: All Vehicles

Manual Transmission

Dependable and lightweight manual transmissions give passionate  drivers a range to express their personal driving style. The coated  synchromesh      gears of the 5- or 6-speed manual transmissions make every shift smooth  and efficient for fluid and exciting acceleration.
