Thread: Subaru Outback

i hit a major pothole recently and sheared the top bolt off the front strut, would hate to have been somewhere off road when it happened.
as far as i know all the 3.6 are CVT unless you have a real rarity. bloody awful, over revving POS

Sorry @gonetropo I hit the edit button instead of quote the first time that's why you have an edit thing in you post

All 3.6R are 5peed box with paddle shift in the years I am looking at.

In the link jakewire quoted it's the 2.5L that has the CVT, not the 3.6L which comes in 5AT only.
