end of tranny, end of SVX
Last week the 4EAT gave up completely, horrible iron to iron sounds, shifting like mad
rebuilding is very expensive (3500 Euro excl removal and putting back together, another tranny is available for about 2500 excl) so it is time to say goodbye to the SVX It has been a lovely car for the past 9 years, luxuriously and relaxed driving, great wintercar Not sure if I bring it to the junkyard, or sell it in parts (that needs room that I do not have) This forum has been a great help with great people Rinus The Netherlands |

Re: end of tranny, end of SVX
That was expensive. Did you check the price for swapping to manual?

Re: end of tranny, end of SVX
did you have the power mode mode, when your tranny went out just curious if this mode short tons tranny life?

Re: end of tranny, end of SVX
I can't imagine Subaru providing a "dangerous" shiftmap.

And he probably didn't do the power mode mod. He thinks you're talking about the power mode turning on when you hit the gas hard.

So if you plan to cruise down the highway for half an hour at 65mph or whatnot, you may to to turn off power mode. Other than that I leave mine on, its better to be in a lower gear. |

Re: end of tranny, end of SVX
Hi Renus,
There is a transmission in the UK that was on on ebay for £299.99 (UK pounds) It's from a Japanese import so should fit your car being a euro with no problems. Let me know it you want anymore info and I will send you their details to contact them directly, they are a very big Subaru breakers. Regards, Darren.

Do not go this route unless you absolutely know what you're getting into. Please note also, that not all SVXs sold in Europe were VTDs so you need verify what kind of transmission you really need (have). Tapani |

Re: end of tranny, end of SVX
I don't think there's a big difference between transmissions, I think maybe a speed sensor might need to be moved? My Aussie delivered SVX had a japanese transmission from the previous owner. Should be able to be made work with minimal effort. Both had VTD and same final ratio pretty sure Euro final ratio is the same.

Re: end of tranny, end of SVX
You need to verify what kind of transmission you have... the Outback ACT tranny can not be swapped into a VTD car very easily - EURO or JDM.

You need to find another mechanic.
