Greetings All,

I'm rather new to the SVX experience and, consequently, to the network. I love the car, and the drivers I meet are always entertaining. But now I think I'm seeing the Dark Side of the SVX. Transmission problems!

I have many questions, but the main one is: how much did it cost to replace/rebuild the tranny? I'm thinking replace. I'm in Boise ID so there isn't a huge selection of authorized Subaru service centers. I think I'm stuck with whatever I can get here. I just want some perspective.

"Exactly HOW much shaft am I getting?"

"A moderate amount, sir."

"Well, so long as I know..."

To prevent this from happening again I would like to beef up the ATF cooling system (well, duh). I hear a lot of people talking about B&M coolers. Any suggestions about where to get one online or alternative coolers?

Thanks for any help you can offer!
