theres no reason why they would use an AWD transmission in a RWD car. As it is the biggest problem with how our drivetrain is laid out is that 100% of the motor weight is in front of the front axle. if you can eliminate the driven front wheels and front transaxle you can move the whole thing as far back in the engine bay as possible or move the front axle forward as well.

Yea I'm almost certain the actually gearbox part of the drivetrain is not subaru's while I think the diff/rear axle is.
