Hello,
I was referred to this site by a friend, and am looking for some help. I own a '98 Impreza outback sport. It has the 2.2L and manual transmission. I recently put a rebuilt engine in the car, and a new clutch.
I have been experiencing some transmission problems. My mechanic, who I trust, told me that it is likely that I will not be able to repair the one that is in my car now, and even if I do I am looking at about 2,000.00 at least for repairing it.
I have done all of the work on this car myself, and am more than willing to replace the transmission, or if possible fix/rebuild the one that is in there. The catch is that the car itself has 245,000 miles on it. Is it worth me digging into it? Or should I cut my losses, and purchase something newer?
I absolutely love this car. I have never driven it hard, and it takes me everywhere, but I need to be practical with this decision and make sure it is worth me spending the money on it, or purchasing something else.
Can anyone help me with this? I am very interested in learning more about all Subarus. I will not own another kind of car in my life.
Thank you,
Dennis Methvin
