well right now im taking automatic tranny class at school and i have to do a paper/ presentation on a automatic tranny of my choice... i was wondering if anyone has the names for the transmissions that were used in things like XT's or that age of subies.. i have the work shop manual but i cant find the name. i was also wondering if someone has a clutch and band application chart for the xt auto? man it sucks bein a procrastinator. ive had all quarter and i waited till the week before its due hahaa

3AT, 2wd and single range 4wd

4EAT, 2wd and 4wd

5spd single range (push button 4wd)

5spd dual range

I've seen the 3AT referenced as a M-41 tranny too, for what that's worth.

yaeh that helps a lil.. im doin it on the 4eat though sorry i shuolda been more specific. so if anyone knows the name of that tranny lemme know or ill prolly end up bein stuck goin over to or callin up subaru for some infro

What the FSM parts book shows is the 4EAT as F-4WAT.

Stands for Fulltime 4wd auto transmission.

Theres aslo the 4AT, which is the 4 speed auto FWD.

The actual part number for the case of the 4WAT is TX86K3E1BA.

Does this help?

The model designation from the trans manufacturer(Aisin?) is

the R4AX-EL. This is the model number to use when trying to find rebuild parts. There may be variations like R4AX-ELxxxx for slightly different applications.

 

All the Subaru 4spd automatics are basically the same trans, From 88-2005. But small changes, like the addition of an external filter mean there are several different kits available for rebuild.
