Larry,
Is there a place in your vast SVX technical library where this is documented? I thought all valve bodies were the same throughout the years. I did not know that the 96/97s had that modification. Does that mean that all factory remanufactured trannies have the benefit of this update?
(I remember talking to Pat at Level Ten about the hydrostatic valve mod when I had the 92 pearlie. He said all the aftermarket cooling in the world would not make as much difference in keeping tranny fluid temps low and protecting the internals as the valve body recalibration.
He said its all about increasing the volume of fluid flow. He claims over twice the volume of fluid exchange as stock.
He also said that he has done many cars from customers in the Middle East who run with no tranny coolers at all, just the valve body mod.
I thought about doing it to the 96, but if the boys at Subaru have already done it for us...
Pat would probably know)
