What did you do to your 5th gen today?? -V4


Recommended Posts

Left it at the dealership since they forgot I have 6-cylinder instead of 4 and delayed my spark plug change and 60k service til today. :lol: Called me and were like "Yeaaaaaaah, we forgot you have the 6-cyl, the price is xxx more money for the plugs" lmao. We mitigated the price since there's several services I'm NOT getting done with my 60k, like both air filters, tire rotation, and I provided the diff fluid, so we worked it out to still do my 6 plugs at the 4 plug price.

 

I have a 2018 2.5i as a loaner in the mean time. I'm not a huge fan of it. First off, the steering is really heavy, and the handling feels like it sucks from what I experienced. The car feels like a rental car and nothing more. There's some nice amenities, but nothing I would ever direly need.

 

Also, did anybody know that the 2018 has 7 "gears" in its CVT? Was driving along in 6th and saw a shift-up indicator and was like o__________O

Picked up from my service. Car feels great, new plugs and diff fluid is lovely. Not that I had any driving issues before, but it feels extra buttery now, and that's the whole point of preventative maintenance right? :lol: Went with Amsoil 75W-90 Sever Gear. And one of the salesman at the dealership parked his STI next to me. :)

Also got this big ass box with a bunch of Japanese on it I'm gonna open later at home and show you guys the contents of. It's literally the size of a person haha.

The HT-CVT manual mode stepping varies from model to model.

Some vehicles only come with 6 'gears' (FXT), some 8 (WRX, S4, Levorg).

Its a function of TCU programming and SI drive config or presence/lack thereof.

Cars with S# typically have 8 rations, cars with S only have 6.

 

2015+ Legacy/Outback 3.6R HTCVT:

High-torque CVT in manual mode:

1st gear 3.105, 2nd 1.983, 3rd 1.454, 4th 1.057, 5th 0.779, 6th 0.543. Final 4.111

CVT in automatic Drive mode continuously varies between 3.105-0.542

 

2015+ Legacy/Outback 2.5i vanilla CVT

CVT in manual mode:

1st gear 3.581, 2nd 2.262, 3rd 1.658, 4th 1,208, 5th 0.885, 6th 0.618. final 4.111

CVT in automatic D mode continuously varies between 3.581-0.618

 

2015-2018 WRX HTCVT

 

I, S modes, 6 CVT settings 1st 3.505, 2nd 2.238, 3rd 1,641, 4th 1.194, 5tyh 0.880, 6th 0.611. Final drive 3.90

S# mode, 8 CVT settings 1st 3.505, 2nd 2.405, 3rd 1.855, 4th 1.544, 5th 1.258, 6th 1.032, 7th 0.856, 8th 0.716. Final drive 3,90

 

CVT Si drive "gear" setting ratios- Si Drive with 3 driver selectable drive modes

I intelligent mode for best economy, 6 CVT settings,

Mentioned this in another thread, but I had a 2018 2.5i as a loaner for a day and it has 7 CVT "gears", so I'm guessing they made some change to the CVT in the 2018 facelift.

Attention 5th genners - Partout possible, tell your friends.

 

I have an opportunity to buy my car back at a good price but I have nowhere to store it yet. if you are interested in parts please speak up or PM me so that I know its worth it or not. If I dont hear anything or cannot find a place to store it I am letting it go to auction.

If you need a place to store it, I have a side driveway at my house (in Framingham) where it could be stored outside. I have a bunch of tools, engine etc.

If you're truly offering a spot I would take it, I estimate it will probably take me up to 6 months to get all the parts off and sold until its able to be junked, shoot me a PM if thats something you want to talk about more...

I would be interested in the long block depending on condition, shipping, and mileage.
