Really it's not completely driver error that causes the 4eat to die, it's just not that great of a trans. Not only SVX's have this problem, most all subaru 4eats (Phase I at least) are known to fail somewheres between 100k and 200k. Of course there's always going to be exceptions on both sides, but that's a nice frame in which they die.

i still had to sign a paper when i transferred the title because i still paid less than Blue Book (or NADA?) value for the car. i'm just saying i paid more than the average $2000 - $5000 SVX. i wouldn't trust you selling me a bottle of anything! probably horse sweat.

According to the service records I have from the original owner, my SVX had a new tranny installed under warrenty at 15k miles. The rebuilt tranny lasted to about 180k miles... I purchased it with known issues.
I spent about $400 getting the tranny rebuilt so it drives almost 100% now (just a little bit of whine/binding when it's cold and I'm turning in tight circles). It will certainly last me till next spring/summer when I plan to put a 6-speed in my WRX, which will leave me a WRX 5-speed to go into the SVX. Now, if I could just find a JDM non-DCCD STi 6-speed w/ track differentials for about $2000...

You'd better knock on some wood...My 94 had 128ish on the original transmission and I thought it would never say die...I was wrong.

Like Tom said, run a search on "brake band adjustment" If you need help finishing it off, let me know. I'm good at that! (2 SVX trannies in 2 years )
