A tow company was stupid and towed my 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback all wheel drive on two wheels (has to have all four off the ground) and destroyed the transmission. My insurance company will be fighting with there's, but my company only wants to pay for a salvage transmission to be installed at about $2,300. They won't consider the other options, an overhaul ($4000) or a new/rebuilt one ($5900). I can see the logic in not paying for new...but my wife (who drives the car) and I are just plain leary of having a salvage transmission, even if it comes with a 12-month warranty. I wonder who drove on the thing and whether they kept the car maintained and did any damage to the internal parts that will show up, say, around month 13. My superstitious wife thinks it's just bad ju-ju to drive with something other than our own transmission. Should we fight the insurance company, or are we being stupid, and would an overhaul done by the Subaru dealer be better?
