First time SVX owner
I just bought a 95 SVX, Pearl Black, 119k. I heard about the common SVX problems, any suggestions about the best brand of tranny cooler to use?????

As for the 'best' transmission cooler, that'll probably be hotly debated. The B&H 15,000GVW cooler seems to be popular, though. I have one, but it's still in the box. Lastly, do you mean you have a pearl white and black '95? I was under the impression that pearlies were only produced in '92 and '94. Check your mfg. date in your driver's side door frame. Anyway, may you enjoy many happy years in your SVX!

i e-mailed a site recommended on svx.com (or something like that) which sells svx parts. i asked for the price of the cooler. they wrote back that they only carry "the best" coolers and it cost $200.00. they added that one can get one for well under $100.00 at any local transmission shop, that their cooler was app. 7 1/2 inches by 14 inches. i have to wonder if there is any real difference between coolers of the same size, most appear to be 3/4 inches thick. one that size can be had for about $60.00.

i believe that.....
B&M and Permacool probably make the best. You can go to any performance parts place a by a tranny cooler. mine is rated at 19,000 and it mounted right in front of the radiator which is the most ideal location if you want all the benefits of the cooler. I think I paid around $60 for mine.

i feel like dart does.
just do it and your car will be happier. if you dont do it you know the tranny will fail. like you said this is just preventive maintenance. but you know your car best so do what feels most comfortable.

ahhh, but you know more than you think.
glorious subaru underestimated the heat producing capabilities of the auto tranny (4EAT). they also did not anticipate the filter getting clogged resulting in premature failure. you, the educated consumer, can fix their oversight by simply installing your aftermarket tranny cooler.
