Exclamation Rebuilding the transmission

Hello,
I am looking advice on my 1992 SVX.
It has a robbing noise when I accelerate and when I brake. Subaru said that I have to rebuild the transmission. They said something about bearing transmission and that is going to cost me $3,265. What do you guys think? Is this a reasonable price for that? Or no?

I will really appreciate your comments or suggestions.
Thanks!

I would get a second opinion from another dealership/garage.

We would need more information to even attempt to diagnose this issue correctly. The noise could be the transmission, exhaust, mounts, axles, engine...almost anything.

The noise the Subaru dealership made when they handed him that estimate.

That price seems to be at the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to dealer transmission rebuilds. I seem to remember $2800 being the bottom of the range.

As for the sound, we'd need more specific info before trying to help you find the source.

Good luck.

Is the tranny storing a troublecode? Is the power light giving its hair raising 16 blinks at start up?
