Question Transmission/Engine Similarities

How similar are the transmissions and engines of the SVX and the Legacy? I was browsing a Japanese export site (www.takakaira.co.jp) and noticed that they sell a "twin-mode clutch system" (read triptronic) that works in the Legacies. Thing is, I don't know if the key to the system is the engine (which they list as being the EJ20 which we only have in the WRX) or if it is the car's tranny itself. Any clues? Oh, if anyone wants to look at the web site, the product is by 5Zigen.

The tranny in the SVX is overall the same as the legacy... it has a different gear ratio, and different electronics. I would bet you could make the tiptronic feature work with some work on your part. I believe level10 was working on a tiptronic feature for the svx specifically. Try contacting them.

When the time comes I'm thinking of putting in the 03 Legacy GT VTD Tiptronic tranny and rear diffy. Theoretically you should be able to put the TCU in and be good to go hopefully.
