transmission question
 

does anyone know were to get an svx transmission for a reasonable price ?

Re: transmission question
 

You can check car-part.com for a used one...

What's your idea of a reasonable price?

Re: transmission question
 

i have checked everywhere and noting that i can afford at the moment. my idea of reasonable is about 800 bucks. i know that sounds stupid but someone has to know were i can get one for that price.

go to svxworldforums.com

talk to budfreak

Re: transmission question
 

I would suggest switching to the 4.44 gears by putting in a 96-98 outback transmission. It's definitely a lot cheaper than going with an svx transmission. If you really want you can go with the stock svx transmission just know that it probably won't be cheap...

Re: transmission question
 

thats what budfreak does on his forum.

Re: transmission question

You are in FLA!
Mike at ECUTune (in FLA) has rebuilt transmissions for just a little more than you want to spend!

They come with a rebuilt TQ, and a modified valve body!
Why do anything else?:confused:

Re: transmission question
 

i have talked to mike but the problem is even HE dosn't know if i have a good core which means i have to spend another $750 because of the core charge....... which really sucks for me :(

Re: transmission question
 

Work with Mike. The option of a salvage yard SVX or 4.44 tranny is still a used transmission. I went the 4.44 route and ended up with a tranny that leaked at every seal (it wasn't from svxfiles). In the long run I spent more than if I did a rebuild.

it's just that this is my daily driver and now it's a paperweight and i just really don't know what to do at this point....:(

Re: transmission question
 

The experience I related was with a '92 Teal, since sold and which my son and i did on our own. I had no reverse or low gear on my silver and it was a $1,200 fix at a local tranny shop experienced with Subaru trannys. 15,000 miles later and all is still good, knock wood. I know, not the $ you are hoping for but how about peace of mind and a warranty?
A question i have for everyone, is how can a core be bad?

Re: transmission question

Re: transmission question
 

yes i'm in Florida, and i talked to longassname and he said that there might be "hard parts damage". which i don't know what that is....
