Roamer Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I am in the market for a 96 SVX, my question is was Subaru able to resolve most of the tranny issues that plagued the earlier SVXs? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 no subaru did not solve the transmission issue - but the general fix is to install an aftermarket transmission cooler. the stock, inefficient, part-of-the-radiator, design is insufficient for the SVX. install one of those with your next trans.

nipper Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well hes 1/2 right. The general fix is to install an aftermakret cooler and a spin on transmission oil filter, and change it frequently. Other solutions is to spend the bucks and have the tranny rebuilt with an aftermarket kit that solves the problem (the lockup torque converter sheds material as well as the clutches) , install a legacy transmission and rear diff, or install a 5 speed. We wont even mention rear wheel bearings. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
