Does the WRX and STI have the same transmission?
Transmission. The Subaru WRX offers a six-speed manual transmission, along with all-wheel drive capabilities. On the STI, you’ll find a close-ratio six-speed transmission. That transmission includes limited-slip differentials on the rear and front, which allows wheels on both sides to better receive power.

Can You STI swap a Subaru Outback?
Enter your ride HERE to be a part of this month’s Outback of the Month Challenge! I’ve made the executive decision to STi swap my Outback. Originally, my plans were to swap in a USDM ej257 (2.5 litre), but they’re extremely expensive and there are easier routes. I’ve decided on a JDM STi Version 5 2.0 litre with the JDM STi transmission.
How long does it take to get a new Subaru Outback Trans?
I’ll be pulling the necessary parts from an Outback with a factory equipped manual transmission. It’ll be about four months before I can get the motor/trans at the minimum, possibly up to six months. The old motor will probably get pulled in coming weeks.
Can a Subaru Outback be converted to manual?
The engine will need to be tuned to run on lower octane, U.S. fuel (Japanese fuel runs a much higher octane). I also need to convert from automatic to manual. It’s an involved process, but far from impossible. I’ll be pulling the necessary parts from an Outback with a factory equipped manual transmission.
Can a legacy STI be used on a Outback?
For the record, might also add S401 (Legacy STi) lights and grill, possibly bumper and side skirts, too, depending on whether or not I stick with the lift idea. I’m afraid that with all the STi power and boost, I’ll want to ditch the off road (or at least “extreme” off road) concept.
