Solenoid Identification The newer version of the Subaru 4 speed transmission 4AT referred to as the 4EAT Phase II Version 2 or 2nd Version started production in 2004. The same year as the 5AT Subaru 5 speed transmission. Many techs may mistake this transmission for the 5AT 5 speed. Both transmissions look very similar externally. The unique solenoid alignment referred to as the “Solenoid Six Pack” quickly identifies it as the 4AT 4 speed transmission.
