This might be a kinda dumb question, but can a Subaru CVT work in a conversion? Not talking about fitment or mounting it or anything like that, but could it possibly work outside of the donor car? I would think that they're electronically controlled, but I can't find any info on this anywhere online. Apparently Im the only guy thay wants to switch from manual to auto.
I'm happy I switched to subaru in my 914 and I'm now swapping a Subaru into my sand rail. I really like the idea of having a cvt in it. Thought I'd ask this here since there's a lot of subaru guys on this forum. Surely someone besides me has considered this. |

I'd take the entire engine/trans package with wiring harness and ecu to make that work.
I have yet to see a CVT that I would consider "robust" and advise my appliance car customers to AVOID them if at all possible. Toyota was the last OEM to change to a CVT and the Toyota version has a normal auto trans first gear and then they switch to the CVT pack. Juries still out on reliability but 1st gear is the hardest on the CVT pack and after watching others for 2 decades Toyota decided to make a hybrid auto/cvt where everyone else does not... The very worst ones are all made by Jatco. Nissans and Dodges had them and they are complete trash. I'm not familiar with the Subi version but I don't trust CVTs at all. I'd take an old school auto over a CVT every time... |
