Subaru Transmission Swap Wiring - What Do I Need to Make My New Transmission Work?

Apr 29, '21
When putting in a new transmission in their Subaru project, most people think of fitment and engine compatibility but rarely consider the wiring. Don't get stuck with butt connectors, soldering, or, worst of all, leaving them unplugged! To complete your transmission swap, use one of iWire's simple Plug and Play Transmission Adapters. We have Plug and Play options if you are doing a DCCD Controller install, we have Plug and Play options.

iWire has created three types of adapters for the most common transmission swaps. Need help determining which option you need? You can see which of the matching plugs below exists on your new transmission or Contact Us, and we'll help!
