Nice. How many miles have you put on it using the QC? Do you have switchable or is it wired directly in? @Immortal_Suby... whenever I'm in SC, I'd love to ride in your car if the time permits and you don't mind.

Re: Quick Change for the SVX.

I've put almost 45,000 miles on it. I put it in around 255k and currently at 299k. It is not switchable. Look me up next time you are down here, you can take it for a ride.

Re: Quick Change for the SVX.

Does this qc-kit work on my vtd transmission and does this prevent transmission failure by somehow?



And one OT question but I think people here knows this too: I just notice some slippage in transmission but it disappeared after oil change. Can I use this kind of atf protectant or is it unnecessary http://www.lubegard.com/~/C-112/LUBE...uid+Protectant ?

I am started to scare when my transmission fail, original vtd tranny and 200tkm...

Hi Chris, yes I developed it on my 95 VTD Aust. car, that has been running it since April 07.
Your 94 model has the better box, with all the later mods done to it, so don't live in fear of it dieing. The way the QC alterers the gearbox line pressure when the change takes place, ensures that the clutches and band have full 'throttle pressure' applied to them to prevent any slipping on engagement.
When overtaking, it allows the torque converter to fully work to multiply the torque, providing fast, safe overtaking.

As for the ATF additive, I don't use any, so can't say. There are members that have used these. and could tell you.
If you work on the rule, to use 3rd gear if you are running at <100kph, 4th over that, you will reduce the heat the converter will generate, and reduce the load on the box.

Harvey.

I have used this product in the past with great results. It tends to free up sticking valves. It is often suggested for folks experiencing binding in the center differential. That's what I used it for and the binding stopped and never came back. What oil/fluid brand did use use when you changed it?

Re: Quick Change for the SVX.

Thanks oab_au, I sent email to you.

Transmission oil was changed at the subaru dealer but I forgot to ask what oil they put in there. According to their website they use Castrol oils. I am going to add that lubegard red also.
