What Is the TR580 CVT Transmission?
The TR580 is part of Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT transmission family used with 2.5L applications.
For the 2015 Forester 2.5L application, a used transmission listing identifies TR580GHZAB along with OEM references 31000AJ330 and 31100AB410.

Signs Your Transmission May Need Attention
Transmission problems can develop gradually or appear suddenly. These common symptoms may indicate that your 4L60E needs inspection, diagnosis or repair.
Delayed Engagement
A noticeable delay when shifting into Drive or Reverse can indicate a hydraulic, fluid or internal transmission issue.
Transmission Slipping
Engine RPM rises without normal acceleration, especially during gear changes or under load.
Harsh Shifting
Hard, abrupt or unusually rough shifts between gears may indicate a control or internal transmission problem.
Loss of Reverse
If Reverse stops working or engages inconsistently, the transmission and shift system should be inspected.
Unusual Noise
Whining, grinding, humming or other abnormal sounds can be signs of internal wear or damage.
Fluid Problems
Low fluid, visible leaks or contaminated transmission fluid can affect shifting and transmission operation.
Important: These symptoms do not always mean the entire transmission needs replacement. Fluid level, linkage, electrical controls, sensors and other components should be checked before choosing a replacement transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers about the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5L CVT, TR580 transmission, AWD fitment and replacement identification.
What transmission does the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5L use?
The 2015 Forester 2.5i uses Subaru's Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT) when equipped with the automatic transmission. Some lower 2.5i trims also offered a 6-speed manual, so the vehicle's actual transmission should be confirmed before ordering.
What application does this page cover?
This page covers the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5L, automatic/CVT, AWD application associated with the JF2SJADC1FH... VIN family.
What is the TR580 transmission?
TR580 is part of Subaru's Lineartronic CVT transmission family used with 2.5L applications. The referenced used unit for this VIN family is identified as TR580GHZAB.
What OEM numbers are associated with this transmission?
The referenced used transmission listing identifies 31000AJ330 and 31100AB410 as OEM references, together with TR580GHZAB. Your original transmission identification should still be checked before ordering.
Is the Subaru Forester 2.5L transmission a conventional automatic?
It is commonly described as the automatic transmission, but technically it is a Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). It continuously varies its ratio rather than shifting through a fixed number of gears.
Is the 2015 Forester 2.5L AWD?
The VIN family used for this page is associated with an AWD 2.5L automatic Forester. Subaru also identifies Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive as standard across the 2015 Forester lineup.
Why does the rear differential ratio matter?
On an AWD Subaru, the transmission and rear differential must work with the correct final-drive ratio. A ratio mismatch can create drivetrain stress and other serious problems. The original transmission and rear differential specifications should therefore be verified together.
What is the CVT ratio range?
Subaru's 2015 specifications list a 3.581–0.570 ratio range for the 2.5i Lineartronic CVT and a 3.70 final-drive ratio.
Does every 2015 Forester use the same transmission?
No. The 2015 Forester was offered with different engines and transmission configurations. The 2.5i could be equipped with a 6-speed manual or Lineartronic CVT, while the 2.0XT models used a different high-torque CVT application.
Can a 2.0XT CVT fit my 2.5L Forester?
Do not assume that it can. The turbocharged 2.0XT uses a different high-torque Lineartronic CVT application. The replacement should match the original 2.5L vehicle configuration.
Can I use any TR580 transmission?
Not automatically. TR580 units can have different identification codes, final-drive specifications, electronics and vehicle applications. Verify the VIN, transmission tag and rear differential ratio before ordering.
Where can I find my Subaru VIN?
Your complete 17-character VIN can be used through Subaru's official owner-information portal. The VIN is also commonly found on the vehicle and its identification labels. Use the complete VIN when requesting transmission fitment assistance.
What information should I send for a quote?
Send your 17-character VIN, confirm the 2.5L engine and provide a photo or number from the original transmission tag if available. For an AWD application, rear differential information can also be useful.
Does a used Subaru transmission include the transfer case?
Subaru AWD transmission assemblies can contain internal transfer and differential components, and individual used units can differ in what is included. Always ask for the exact configuration and included components before purchasing.
How do I check availability?
Contact Automart with your VIN and transmission details. The team can verify the application and check available used Subaru Forester transmission options.
