Transmission Help Please
Okay so lets just say I have the worst of luck. I have a 96 lsi and a 94 lsi both black with tan leather interior. The one is from canada, everything is in kilometers. I bought the 94 as a parts car becuase it needed a trans but had low miles (under 100k). My 96 was in good shape it just was nearing 200K. The day after i brought home the 94 my transmission went in my 96!!!! It wont even sit in park the whole thing makes some really nasty noises...Its gargabe. Well Now i am going to put a trans in the other one but the previous owner said he had put the 4.11 gears in the diff when he replaced the tranny before it broke on him again. Does subaru even have an automatic 4.11 tranny? I thought they only had the svx 3.54 and the 4.44 auto trans. I do not have enough money to do a 5 speed swap but would like to keep the 4.11 gears if i can or if i cant put in 4.44 gears and a tranny that will work. Does anone know which trans i will need for the 4.11 (auto) if they have one. also if i do have to change the diff to 4.44, will i need to change the whole diff or can i just put gears in it and which tannys will work for that..??

Call Tom, svxfiles. He can get you a nice 4.11 at a good price. Then I would highly recomend you send me your valve body to be reworked so that this one lasts longer; it will also shift lightning fast and be a much sportier car. I'll cut you a break and do it withou replacing the solenoids to help with your budget.

Find someone who might have a blown SVX transmission as the differential may be good is a possibility. A better option since it actually involves less work, just a little more money for the parts, is get a 4.11 or 4.44 auto transmission AND rear differential out of another Subaru(91-97 and some 98's). These have shown to be more reliable than the 3.54 gear ratio in the SVX automatic. Highway cruising will be at higher rpm's but it is not bad for these engines. If you decide to swap in an auto from another suby, replacing the transmission is straight forward-drop out the old one and install the new(to you) transmission. For the rear differential you need to swap out the LSD from the SVX rear differential into the donor rear diff. On the other hand, if you decide to just change the front differential, you must first drop out the SVX transmission, separate the front differential from the transmission and replace the ring and pinion gear, put it back together and reinstall. I guess both end up being about the same amount of work. |
Re: Transmission Help Please
You should call svxfiles about the car with the 4.11 gears. You'll want to check and see if the previous owner just threw in a 4.11 rear or made it limited slip; he'll be able to help you do that. He has a lot of experience with them. He's also a good source both for a 4.11 transmission and for limited slip dif of your desired ratio. You'll get more done in a phone call than 20 posts here.

Re: Transmission Help Please
Thank you all. I did call him and I am actually going to put in the 4.44 tranny instead and switch the diff. As for my other car goes that i just wrecked the miracle man that said something about the axles is my hero! It turns out that when i punched it, i spun off the teeth on the inside of the tranny on that double ended axle thing. (double endedaxle thing*- it goes into trans and into axle about 5 inches long) not sure what its called. Anyways thats all i did. the car drives fine again, just a little rougher when put into drive then it used to be....but not terrible. THANKS EVERYONE for the help I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!!!!!!! I Cannot wait til the anniversery meet as well!
