    I doubt it too Lucky, but knowing is half the battle.

    So I've been interested in purchasing an Outback only to find out that the auto transmission only comes in the goofy "rubberbanding" CVT. Now I'm reading that they are failing (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jensen/2017/07/07/facing-complaints-subaru-offers-extended-warranties-on-1-5-million-vehicles/#4145b6bf79dc). This makes me want one much less to the point where I won't be buying one. Is the 5EAT transmission compatible with the 15 and up Outback? I've looked at pictures of the CVT and the 5EAT bolt pattern and they look similar but I don't know much about it. Obviously if there is another non CVT Auto transmission that is compatible I'd like to hear about that as well. Thanks
