Doubtful considering the STI transmission was supposedly designed and built by Porsche.

Obviously the transmission does not say Porsche on it and as pointed out by UT_Evo earlier, the transmission is built by Getrag. However, this does not rule out the possibility that Porsche was consulted in the design as they have been in the past by Subaru for other projects and by other companies in general. In that link I provided, one person suggests he has seen/heard Fuji engineers suggest that Porsche did play a role in the transmission. It's hard to say one way or the other but, as I have been saying for the last 2 pages, it's likely just a rumor.

Obviously the transmission does not say Porsche on it and as pointed out by someone more knowledgable on the subject earlier, the transmission is built by Getrag. However, this does not rule out my ability to hang on to a fallacy because until someone can provide written documents signed by Getrag, Subaru and Porsche that Porsche was not consulted in the design I can still go on about how I may be right - in an alternate universe. In that link I provided, one person lies that he has seen/heard Fuji engineers suggest that possibly, in a way, that maybe it could be insinuated that Porsche did play a role in the transmission, while he was dreaming. I'm too hardheaded to realize that I'm wrong but, as I have been saying for the last 2 pages, it's likely I'm just unable to admit it.

Fixed it for you!
