Used Subaru Transmissions You Can Trust
When your Subaru transmission fails, replacing the entire vehicle isn’t necessary. A professionally inspected and tested used Subaru transmission delivers OEM performance at a fraction of the cost. Unlike junkyard pulls or unknown online sellers, our used transmissions are carefully sourced, thoroughly inspected, tested, and backed by warranty—giving you peace of mind and long-term reliability.
Whether you drive a Subaru Outback, Forester, WRX, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, Ascent, or BRZ, a quality used transmission helps you restore smooth shifting, AWD performance, and factory driving feel without overspending.
A used Subaru transmission from a trusted supplier goes through a strict evaluation process to ensure it performs to OEM standards. Because Subaru models are known for Symmetrical AWD systems, CVT gearboxes, and BOXER engine layouts, proper fitment and testing are critical.
Each transmission undergoes:
Once approved, the unit is cleaned, palletized, and prepared for shipment.
Feature | Used Transmission | Remanufactured | Rebuilt |
|---|---|---|---|
Testing | Basic or full test | Complete dyno test | Limited test |
Warranty | 3–12 months | 1–5 years | 30–180 days |
Parts Replaced | None | Almost all | Only failed parts |
Cost | Lowest | Highest | Mid-range |
OEM Fitment | Guaranteed | Guaranteed | Partial |
A used transmission is the best choice when you want OEM performance at the lowest cost. Subaru transmissions are expensive from the dealer, especially CVTs, so a tested used unit is often the most cost-effective option.
All used Subaru transmissions include warranty coverage ranging from 90 days up to 12 months, depending on model and availability. Each unit also comes with:
