Turbone Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 But not like you would expect. Of course not! That wouldnt be like me at all:rolleyes: 92 SVX..............with a tranny problem, of course:rolleyes: Other than the tranny issue, its in pretty good shape. Has high miles tho, about 238K. And the interior is very dirty. tranny needs the transfer clutch extention. It got broke/cracked when the front u-joints went out. So I know where theres a few Leg trannies in the Lynnwood PAP I cant scavenge one off of. Should cost me $26 to fix:-p Got the car for $700:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccrinc Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Sweeeet! I love my SVX. '92 LSi, complete touring package. Yep, it had a bad tranny when we got it too. Imagine that. Put a Transgo shift kit in there. Helps the tranny last longer and gives much better response. Emily http://www.ccrengines.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedLegacy Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hey Turbone. Looks like we were in luck. I only payed 750 for my Legacy Turbo... The guy thought it was having serious issues....which turned out to be a vacuum line unplugged from the intake manifold....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 This is what was wrong with it. Got the part yesterday, have to wait till Mon to get a gasket. This is the transfer clutch housing on the end of the 4EAT. Apparently the u-joints went TU and the shaft thrashed around busting the housing....in half. The PO actually tried to JB weld it back together and it obviously didnt work to well:rolleyes: Oh yeah, got the part at Tacoma PAP for $10.36.

86BRATMAN Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Wow... Just wow... Why would somebody think jb weld would hold that... Unless they were hoping for a bandaid fix till they got rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Picked up the gasket today.....$2 and some change. Now if the rain would hold off long enough:rolleyes: 86BRATMAN.......Wow... Just wow... Why would somebody think jb weld would hold that... Unless they were hoping for a bandaid fix till they got rid of it. Yeah, I dont know what the guy was thinking. He had it off to JB it, why not just get the part and replace it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicfrog Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 T - I am INSANELY jealous!!!! :clap: Oh, well. I did get my 94 Alpine Leggy for $300, so I'm happy. I'll be happier when I take it up to the snow! Anyway, welcome fellow fence jumper:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Well, theres a couple of pro's and a couple of con's with that. I would def be traveling in stye and speed:grin: But my gas mileage would suck:-\ When I did the Dragon in my XT GL it got great mpg, but it was still almost a grand for fuel. I made a few side trips/detours:rolleyes: I cant imagine what it would cost for the SVX, even to PA:-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spare bedroom in my house..and the office ..and an air mattress ( for the boys if needed) I know in PA there are are few places that would put you up..

Turbone Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hey, what are you doing up so early?:-p Dont know when the Reading meet is, but I guess I have a while to get the car ready.....for whatever meet I'm going to;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Well, reviving a old thread......for a good reason. Picked up another SVX in my fav color. I have another hood, off the Claret, that I'm in the process of painting. Then I can strip this one down to bare metal and repaint it. So now I own 3 92 SVX's. One is for parts, one will be for sale (Teal) after I do a engine swap and a few other things. And I'm keeping the black one....of course:-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 I just went back to the beginning of the thread and I see I didnt post anything about my 2nd purchase Picked it up for $400 from a wrecking yard in Port Orchard a few weeks ago. The engine is toast, has a bad rod knock. But like I said above, the Claret's engine is going to be a donor. The car only has 103K on it.
