I'm assuming the specs on the Subaru web site are for the 2000 model...
"Full-time AWD system automatically distributes power between front and
rear wheels based on traction needs. Manual transmission models have a
viscous-coupling locking center differential. Automatic transmission models
have an electronically managed continuously variable transfer clutch. 2.5
RS Models have a viscous limited-slip rear differential."
So the manual transmission uses a viscous center and viscous rear
diff. That would be legal in STS/STR.
The auto trans uses an electronic locking center diff so it's not legal.
