The trannys really aren't that bad. After Subaru corrected the problem with the clogging ATF line inlet on the radiator cooler, the trannys have proven to have a longevity similar to other auto trannys give or take the odd part that breaks on some people's SVX trannys. My '95 SVX had 90K miles on the stock tranny, and its working great.

Anyhow, a large difference in rolling circumference between front and rear wheels would increase the slippage of the center clutch which would generate heat, increase the wear rate on the center clutch, and introduce debris into the ATF. Sounds bad, but I wonder how this compares to the amount of slippage that must occur on a daily basis to accommodate driving the car around corners.
