newbie Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Ok i need some help. I have a '92 AWD Subaru SVX (automatic) and the transmission is shot. I need to find a place with a good price on a used transmission (in good condition) so i can swap the transmissions. Or I need to have the current one rebuilt. I also heard that i could possibly use the tranny from an AWD impreza or other subaru..would that work? Does anyone have any suggestions on places to go or how to fix?

Hocrest Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Ouch I feel your pain, I just had to replace the trans in mine. If you are looking for a used trans have you tried Car-parts.com Also, have you checked out the SVX Network There are a few members over there from CO. Good luck and enjoy it when its done.

wrxsubaru Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 You could always swap a 5spd in it. Here some info if you want opn the 5spd conversion. http://www.smallcar.com/svx/5speed.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotsubarus Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 You could use one from an outback, but you will have to change the rear end also because of the gear ratio's. The SVX uses a 3.54 ratio and the outback use 3.90 i think or 4.11 I have a good Legacy B4 twin turbo tranny that would work great in the SVX but the ratio is 4.54 so you would have to get a rear end out of a Forester...You would loose you top speed but think of the take off power:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
