ehsnils Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 The problem is the emissions regulations that are different between Europe and the US. Maybe it will be resolved when the cars are conforming to Euro 6 (whatever level that means for the US) since that should be synchronized with the US emissions regulations but currently the Subaru diesels are Euro 5.

spud72 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Out of curiosity, are the diesels CVT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verwilderd Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Out of curiosity, are the diesels CVT? Nope! Subaru does not make an auto tranny strong enough for the torque the diesels produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliveawn Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 They said that there will be autos in 2011(in sweden),all the diesels have 6 speed manuals. for the first few thousand kilometers they seem notchy and stiff but they loosen up after a while.

ehsnils Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 That's what I did hear a while ago, but I can't be absolutely sure because it was only what the dealer told me. And we all know what dealers says... And things can always be delayed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Ned Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The 6MT in use on European diesels is the same 6MT used in USDM Legacy GTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Not quite - it has a different (wider) gearing range. http://www.bedug.com/pics/6mtgearings.png The 2.5i has the same gearings as 2.0i. I didn't have the figures for the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Visited the dealer today and got info that now it seems like they are going to have an AT gearbox for the 2013 model year diesel and that it's going to be the CVT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Not quite - it has a different (wider) gearing range. http://www.bedug.com/pics/6mtgearings.png The 2.5i has the same gearings as 2.0i. I didn't have the figures for the GT. Gear ratios are different, but it has the split-case cable shifted 6MT that the 2010+ LegacyGT and 2.5i have. It's NOT the sleeve-case 6MT used in the SpecB or STi. The 5EAT could handle the diesel, but the gear ratios suck and there are functional space limitations preventing too much modification of internal ratios. You'd have to change final drive to something north of 4.44 and that becomes yet another space challenge. The manual trans has more freedom and less cost associated with changing ratios. I don't believe the CVT, in it's current configuration, can handle the Diesel (or it would be in the 3.6R), so they must be planning a big revision soon.

ehsnils Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'll try to test drive it as soon as I have the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have the figures for the GT. GT is same as 2.0i/2.5i 1st-4th; 5th/6th in between 2.0D and 2.0i 5th is 0.780 6th is 0.666 As a note, both 2.5i and GT have 4.111 final drive; 2.5 OB had 4.444 final drive.

mark5032 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Does anybody actually know how much torque the CVT is rated for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you have a stepped AT gearbox instead of a gearbox that can give you an ideal ratio almost all the time? I really hate the feeling when a stepped AT gearbox changes gear.

Captain Ned Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Just for reference, the torque rating on the Euro 2.0D is 258 lb/ft, exactly the same as the USDM Legacy GT 2.5T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it's present between 1800 and 2400 rpm which is a very useful rpm range for a daily driver. So it provides a different characteristic and therefore a different challenge for the transmission compared to the GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
