Hi there,

I've got a problem with my old 3AT in my 1986 Sedan, because of missing technical English expiriences I can't explain it exactly, so I'll try it with pictures.

 

In the middle, as you can see, there are missing teeth, because it went without oil. This normally doesn't happen as my automatic transmission expert told me, the car has run 55000km (about 33500 miles) and stood long times so that the oil went down in the transmission.

Because of the missing teeth the part on the left in the background wich is for switching the 3 speeds doesn't work any more.

Here another description from the Subaru software: http://l1800turbo.funpic.de/Sedan_Automatikgetriebe.pdf it's the part labeled with '1'.

The original part number is: 31450AA021.

 

It seems that nobody here in Germany has kept parts from the 3AT with carburetor engine , so I ask if anybody of you has got an old transmission or parts of it he wouldn't need any more.. It's just the one thing wich needs to be ok..

I can also swap with other Subaru parts from here, if somebody is interested.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Kai

Just an FYI, to make things easier, looks like the part you need is called the governor gear. Very common for those to fail on the 3AT. There's gotta be plenty of us on this side of the pond that can find you a good one.

 

P.S., I just pulled the part up on a dealership website, and its $375 for a new one. Doubt you wanna spend that. Hopefully someone has a good used one.

Yes, it's quite expensive, I asked in USA and I could get it for 220$, in Germany Subaru wants originally 230€, so quite more in $...

 

Maybe somebody has something... I drive the car only a few hundred kilometers a year as a car for sundays so that I didn't want to spend that much money into it...
