JDM SUBARU TR690JDJAA LINEARTRONIC CVT AWD TRANSMISSION

Replace a damaged or failed Subaru CVT with this low-mileage JDM TR690JDJAA Lineartronic CVT AWD transmission from J-Spec Auto Sports.

This individual transmission is identified as:

Transmission Code: TR690JDJAA
Serial Number: TR690JDJAA 134416-34
Final Drive: 3.70
Item ID: 17466

The TR690JDJAA belongs to Subaru’s early TR690 Lineartronic transmission family. It is a chain-type continuously variable transmission designed for Subaru’s AWD drivetrain.

APPLICATION

The strongest application target for this transmission is compatible early-generation:

Subaru Legacy / Outback 2.5L AWD

Do not purchase by vehicle year or engine size alone. Subaru used multiple TR690 transmission codes and final-drive configurations that can look very similar externally.

The complete TR690JDJAA code is important.

3.70 FINAL DRIVE

This transmission should be identified as:

Final Drive: 3.70

The vehicle must use a compatible 3.70 rear differential unless the complete drivetrain has been properly converted to another matched ratio.

Do not install a 3.70 transmission with a 3.90 or 4.11 rear differential. Incorrect front-to-rear gearing can cause AWD binding and drivetrain damage.

FITMENT VERIFICATION

Before ordering, compare Item 17466 with the original transmission.

Verify:

• Complete transmission code
• Final-drive ratio
• Rear-differential ratio
• Bellhousing
• Torque converter
• Valve body
• Electrical connectors
• Sensors and solenoids
• Cooler fittings
• Mounting points
• Axle interfaces
• AWD output configuration

JDM and U.S.-market TR690 transmissions can have component or electronic differences even when the cases appear similar.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Before installing the replacement CVT, thoroughly flush the transmission cooler and cooler lines. Debris from a failed CVT can contaminate the replacement transmission.

Inspect accessible seals and compare the torque converter and electrical components with the original transmission.

Use the Subaru-specified Lineartronic CVT fluid for the exact vehicle and transmission application. The front differential has a separate gear-oil circuit and must be serviced independently.

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

Set CVT fluid level according to Subaru’s temperature-based service procedure.

Complete multiple heat cycles, check for leaks, verify fluid levels and perform a controlled road test before returning the vehicle to normal service.

ACTUAL INVENTORY

The photographs on this listing should show the actual Item 17466 transmission. Compare these images directly with your original transmission before purchasing.

Keep the original transmission until the JDM replacement has been successfully installed, programmed or relearned as required, road-tested and verified.

Item 17466 includes a 90-day limited warranty, subject to J-Spec Auto Sports’ current warranty requirements.

Nationwide freight shipping and affordable installation are available.
