I thought that I would share with everyone my experience about getting SVXY's tranny rebuilt. I had it done at an independently owned, Benchmark transmission shop on rte. 13 in Claymont, DE. They had rebuilt a myriad of Suby trannys and 3 SVX trannys before mine. Rafferty Subaru wanted $3300, which includes the core excgange rebate to replace my transmission. Benchmark quoted me $1900-2200 depending what they found when they removed & opened the tranny. It actually cost me $2400 because many of the hard metal parts needed replacement. I saw most of the tranny internals on the bench and many of the metal parts were scored and discolored (blued). It took 2 weeks because I could only bring and pickup the car on Saturdays, and they needed to order parts and it took about a week to get them. They also put in an auxiliary ATF cooler. This past Saturday I bought a lifetime warrantee from them at an additional cost of $450. So the total came to $2850. This warrantee covers everything in the tranny but not the differentials. It requires free inspection once per year inspection. I change the tranny fluid once per year, anyway.
I have had the car for 2 weeks now and my initial impressions are that the tranny is very tight. It seems much firmer than the tranny in my '97 SVX even when that SVX was new. I will report on the state of the tranny in about 6 mos. Now, to fix that oil leak.

It sounds like you are happy with the service you got at that place. It is nice to see that once in a while.

That seems like a really good deal!
So how long does the lifetime warrany last?
