Re: automatic wrx transmission
I asked about that a while back. Tom swapped a newer 4-speed auto into someone's car a while back. Apparently it was a massive PITA.

Re: automatic wrx transmission
Yeah, it is Melis's car that has the phase 2 trans in it. Yeah, it was days of wiring.
Physically it mounted up pretty easily. A slight modification to the bracket that holds the shift linkage to the trans, other than that it bolted right on.

Re: automatic wrx transmission
Wasn't there some sort of shattered transmission at the end of that?

The second one we got is a 4.11. It's been running strong for 18 months now.

Re: automatic wrx transmission
I have in my posession a JDM 4.11 wrx VTD tranny (phase 1.) I was waiting on my JDM SVX TCU (thanks needforspeed and longassname!!) and now that I have all the parts, I will undertake this project once I have a bit of time and our new shop is completed.
I'll be running it with an ECUtune built valvebody and TCU programming, along with a 4.11 LSD rear prepared by young tom. Cooling will be handled by an external cooler with thermostat and external oil filter. I eagerly await the results!! I'd really like to have a turbocharged automatic vtd'ized SVX. That is my goal. Maximum coolness!

Re: automatic wrx transmission
Yeah, I'm curious for the results myself. The car ran a 15.4 before, and I think I could nail a 14 with the swap.
