Re: Not sure where to start...transmission is giving me problems

I am not convinced with all these accolades for the 4.44 transmission. It is still a used transmission, requires rear diff modification and, what will the availability of a good low mileage one be as the years go by. I would rather consider an original rebuild with longassnames's valve body and TCU, and maybe other Level 10 components. I don't know if it is BS but, when I had mine rebuilt 35K miles ago, the shop said the Subaru replacement clutch discs were a heavier duty upgrade from the 1992 originals.
