You never know
Just made my first trip to the local Subaru parts counter to procure some parts for the SVX we bought two weeks ago. I'm chatting with the counter person and a mechanic and they told me about a 92 black LS-L just taken in on trade on the "back" lot.
The previous owner had opted for an Aamco trans rebuild and the Subaru master tech that had performed all the service on the car had "disowned" him. It definately needs trans work. Seems to shift ok but makes various noises and vibrations. So I bought it for a parts car. Now that I have it home even tho it has a few minor dings and scuffs it is almost as nice as the one I just paid 4 times as much for. I guess I'll save up for a trans. Sheesh these things are addictive |

BTW, how much are they quoting for a suby reman in good ol' Loo-uh-vull? It's two hours away from me, but, if I end up having to have another tranny, I'll travel the two hours -- even have it towed the two hours, before I'll let the folks at Romain touch my car. 4,600.00 for a tranny! BS!!!

Looks like $2837.00 to me. Of course I have no personal experience with this fellow's work but I got a good "vibe" off him for what thats worth. |

As for my rebuild, it was 650 including new solenoids and another 150 for a reman TC. I've logged close to 40,000 miles without problems. I still have a complete spare trans that I need to part, it's disassembled and ready for the picking. |

unhooking the resistor has given....
me no problems. car shifts aggressively and runs relatively smooth. i have had mine unhooked for about 7,000 miles with no problems.
cant believe you have two svx's already!! i would have to fix and drive them both. one would be for mods and the other a daily driver/parts car if needed.
