Used Subaru Transmission Models

Used Subaru Transmission

Subaru is the automobile division of Subaru Corporation, one of the largest Japanese conglomerates. Known for its boxer engine, most models used an engine capacity of upwards of 1500 cc. They introduced the symmetrical all-wheel drive drive-train layout in 1971. The combination became mainstream in mid to small-sized cars globally by the late 90s. In the United States, Subaru enjoyed a narrow but hardcore fanbase and loyal following. Subaru reached customers who prefer their signature engine and transmission combination. Also, the car is renowned for its off-roading and sporty racing capabilities. Used Subaru transmission is popular within the United States as well as globally. Let's look at the evolution of Subaru models, lineups, engines, and transmissions.

1950s to 1970s

Subaru's first launch was their 1954 Subari 1500. From the outstart, the lineup came fitted with a 1.5 L engine and 4-speed manual transmission. It reached a top speed of 76 mph, over a car weight of 2710 lbs. Later, they released their 3-speed manual Van, the 1961 Sambar (1st Gen). In 1966, they introduced their 4-speed manual transmission car, the Subaru 1000. With a sub 1 L engine, it pumped 55 hp and reached a top speed of 84 mph. The 1967 1000 Light Van again used the 4-speed manual transmission, racing to a top speed of 84 mph. Later, the 1969 1000 FF-1 Star with its 1 L engine reached a top speed of 84 mph. With pretty much similar speed and performance, they launched the 1971 Subaru 1000 FF-1 1300 G. The stunningly styled 1979 Leone (1st Gen) came along with upgraded capacities, pushing top speed a tad shy of 100 mph. A year later, they released Rex (1st gen) with a meager 358 cc engine capacity.

1970s to 1980s

Subaru brought their 4-speed manual transmission in 1978 Brat (1st Gen). Soon followed by the 1978 Leone (2nd Gen) and 1981 Brat (2nd Gen) Subaru confirmed on trend of 4-speed manual transmission. The 1981 Rex (2nd Gen) used a meagre 544 cc reached a top speed of 68 mph and raced 0 to 60 mph in 25.3 seconds. Later, Subaru debuted its 5-speed manual transmission model, the Justy in 1984. The sub 1 L engine, produced a horsepower of 50 bhp, reached a top speed of 87 mph, and recorded a 0 to 60 mph in 17.3 seconds. To top it up, the 1984 Leone (3rd Gen) recorded a top speed of 121 mph and 0 to 60 mph in just 9 seconds. The 1.78 L engine proved capable of producing 134 hp. Even better, the 1985 XT recorded a top speed of 124 mph and raced from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in just 8.5 seconds. Their popular model the 1980 Legacy (1st Gen) recorded a top speed of 112 mph and did 0 to 60 within 12.

Subaru in 1990s

Post-90s, Subaru entered into 4-speed automatic transmission models with 1991 Alcyone SVX being the first of them. It recorded stunning 0 to 60 mph timings of 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 154 mph. A year later, they launched the 1992 Vivio which reverted to a 5-speed manual. This meager 658 cc engine produced a decent 43 hp and raced a 0 to 60 mph in exactly 16 seconds. The sporty 1992 Impreza (1st Gen) with its 1.6 L engine recorded a top speed of 109 mph and did 0 to 60 miles per hour in 12.1 seconds. Again turning to a 4-speed automatic, the Legacy (2nd Gen) recorded a top speed of 117 mph and did a 0 to 60 in just 9.5 seconds. Later, the largest hatchback, the 1998 Legacy Wagon (3rd Gen) recorded a top speed of 116 mph and did a 0 to 60 in 10.8 seconds. The budget car in 1998, Pleo (1st Gen) came fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission and recorded a top speed of 80 miles per hour.

Subari post-2000s

Post 2000s, Subaru confirmed their formula of alternating between 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual transmission in their models. The 2002 Baja fitted with a 2.5 L engine produced more than decent horsepower of 210 hp. Within a year, the GX Justy (3rd Gen) came fitted with a 1.5 L engine and 5-speed manual transmission. The model recorded a top speed of 102 mph and 0 to 60 miles per hour in 11 seconds. The same year, they released the 2003 Legacy (4th Gen) which raced to a top speed of 130 mph and 0 to 60 mph in under 11 seconds. Notably, they tested with the 6-speed semi-automatic in their sportscar, the 2005 Impreza WRC. In the late 2000s, they used 5-speed manual transmission with middling engines and ultimately, ventured into CVT later post 2010s.
