Transmissions that will work in the SVX
 

what are some of the replacement transmissions that will work in my '92 SVX, I am wondering in case mine goes out.

Re: Transmissions that will work in the SVX
 

For an auto, the Legacy 92 to 97 with a diff change to 4.1.
Outback same years with a diff change to 4.44.
The later boxes with the spin on filter, are different doesn't work with the TCU.

Manual, same years WRX box, works with the original diff.

First generation Outback was '95 to '99. I had 2 of the '97s. I have the transmission (4.44) and diff gears in my '92 parts car from my '97 Outback LTD.
The second generation Outback started in late '99 and the tranny does not work on the SVX.

when you say dif change , do you mean I have to pull the whole rear axel or just the gears? And I am getting the whole transmission from where it bolts to the engine and the driveline?

Yes you need the rear diff out of the same car. The Legacy gears, have to be fitted into the SVX diff, as the SVX diff is a Viscous LSD, and the SVX axles will only fit to the SVX center, they won't fit into the Legacy center.

will this make the car run faster or more reliable?

Re: Transmissions that will work in the SVX
 

The 4.44 geared transmissions typically hold up much better than the SVX transmission especially if you can find one under 100,000 miles. The 4.44 gearing also has better acceleration off the line but the trade off is that the engine will rev higher at highway speeds.

So I have found a unmolested 96 legacy in the junkyard that I was thinking of getting, that would be a 4.1 gearing right ? is that whats in my 92 SVX ?

.
The1996 Legacy has a final drive ratio of 4:11

The SVX final drive ratio is 3.545

Ok, I how have my SVX, took her for a spin today and it seems like its gutless, like possibly the trans is no good, I just want to know before heading towards a 97 Legacy auto trans, this will work in the SVX as long as I take the ring and pinion gears from the differential ....right ...?
