I have VTD, is that a system that goes with any Subaru automatic or do I need a VTD version?

So far, I'm pleased with the 4EAT but more gears wouldn't hurt. Also, Sportshift was fun. Can I put a 5EAT into my car?
If yours is VTD, you need to use another VTD trans with the same type (normally open or norm closed) C solenoid or if its different, have the matching TCU as well as ensuring the rear diff is the same ratio. All of this, plus needs to be a phase 1 transmission. (in the US, this is 90-98 EJ based Subarus)
