JDM 2015–2017 SUBARU WRX TR690GBDCA FA20DIT HIGH-TORQUE CVT

Replace a damaged or failed WRX CVT with this low-mileage JDM Subaru TR690GBDCA High-Torque Lineartronic CVT AWD transmission from J-Spec Auto Sports.

This transmission targets compatible 2015–2017 Subaru WRX models equipped with the FA20DIT 2.0L turbocharged direct-injection boxer engine and Subaru’s performance-oriented Lineartronic CVT.

The primary drivetrain relationship is:

Subaru WRX → 2015–2017 → FA20DIT 2.0L Turbo → TR690GBDCA → High-Torque Lineartronic CVT → AWD → 4.11 Final Drive

This individual transmission is:

Transmission Code: TR690GBDCA
Item ID: 48109
SKU: MT424 TR690GBDCA

TR690GBDCA TRANSMISSION

Subaru produced several TR690 transmission variants. Therefore, do not select a replacement transmission simply because it belongs to the TR690 family.

Verify the complete TR690GBDCA code.

Differences between TR690 variants can include final-drive ratio, valve body, torque converter, electrical components, sensors, AWD configuration and vehicle calibration.

Before ordering, compare Item 48109 directly with the original transmission.

FA20DIT 2.0L TURBO

An important correction to the current listing is engine displacement.

The 2015–2017 standard WRX uses the FA20DIT 2.0L turbo engine, not a 2.5L engine.

Therefore, all references to:

WRX 2.5L

on this product page should be changed to:

WRX FA20DIT 2.0L Turbo

Do not market this CVT for the WRX STI.

HIGH-TORQUE LINEARTRONIC CVT

The TR690GBDCA is a continuously variable transmission, not a conventional 5-speed automatic.

Therefore, remove the current Gears: 5 specification.

Programmed stepped shift behavior or paddle-shift modes do not make this transmission a conventional geared automatic.

4.11 FINAL DRIVE

This individual transmission is listed with a:

4.11 Final Drive

A compatible 4.11 rear differential is required for the 4.11 drivetrain configuration.

Before installation, verify the transmission final drive and rear differential ratio. Do not operate an AWD Subaru with mismatched front and rear final-drive ratios.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Before installing the replacement CVT, thoroughly flush the transmission cooler and cooler lines.

Use the correct Subaru High Torque CVT Fluid specified for the application. The front differential uses a separate gear-oil circuit and must be serviced independently.

Verify the torque converter is fully seated before mating the transmission to the engine.

After installation, perform applicable Subaru CVT initialization, learning and adaptation procedures with capable diagnostic equipment.

Set CVT fluid level according to Subaru’s temperature-based service procedure. Complete multiple heat cycles, recheck fluid levels and leaks, then perform a controlled road test.

Keep the original transmission until Item 48109 has been successfully installed, relearned and road-tested.
