Re: Transmission going bad
Do a 4.44 transmission swap for the earlier Legacies and Outbacks. There is a ton of information here about this if you search.
This quote from svxfiles (OT) How do they[4.44s] drive as a regular road vehicle? With 37% more torque in first, 31% more torque in second, and 25% more in third and fourth, they drive VERY well! Where I live with nothing but turns and hills, (and 0 spare time ) They are the perfect gears. Do the lower ratios increase consumption? Gas mileage is still good at 23-25 highway, and 18 city. Some have reported a mpg INCREASE with the 4.44s. Is the noise level higher at highway speeds? To me it is smoother. Could I live with it? I think so, in fact I think you would LOVE it. Drive one. Tom just have the change out the gears and put them in the stock differential. Total cost parts and labor should be less than $1500.00. .

Re: Transmission going bad
If you want to save time, ask Nate if he has any 4.44 rear diffs already swapped. That's the route I went when I had my SVX.
