Why the flywheel Huck, is it different to the SVX?

Hey Harvey,
Yes it is different, The torque converter on the SVX is bigger than the ones on the other Subarus, and it takes a different Flexplate to match the TC, if one were to get the SVX TC rebuilt, they could use it in the Legacy tranny and retain the SVX Flexplate.
I wouldn't recommend using the SVX TC without a rebuild, as it will have debris from the bad tranny in it (don't want to gum up the new tranny, do we )
