Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission Generation 2
(CVT G2/TR58)
Introduction
The CVT G2 is equipped for 2015 Legacy and Outback FB 2.5L models. Compared with current
CVT G2 models this unit receives several refinements to improve fuel economy while reducing
noise, vibration, and harshness.
Torque converter
Lowered stiffness of damper
TCM
Direct mounting of transmission
Added oil spacer
· Reduced oil agitation loss
· Reduced oil level
Vibration and noise reduced
· Sound insulation cover changed
· Primary bearing rollers

CVT Fluid
A new CVT fluid (CVTF-II) has been introduced for the CVT G2 that is dark green in color. This
fluid has a lower viscosity than the conventional blue CVT fluid (CVTF-C30).
CVTF-II is initially filled in and required during service for all 2015MY CVT G2 vehicles. CVTF-II
will gradually replace CVTF-C30 for all previous CVT G2 and non-High Torque CVT G1 models.
Note:
The High Torque CVT G1 (TR69) still uses the orange colored CVTF-High Torque
fluid. Do not mix this fluid with any of the other varieties.
