transmission rebuilding
Anyone have a local trans shop (not a chain) rebuild their SVX transmission? Any unsual pitfalls? I have found a guy very familiar with Subaru trans, but not many SVX's around for him to play with.

The SVX trans is your standard 4EAT fare internally. I'd say that if he can rebuild any other Subie trans, he can do an SVX with a minimum of fuss.
Mechanically I think the primary difference is the final drive ratio.

There are a couple other main differences
1. There is an extra High clutch friction material. This caused many of the early 92 failures in which cases were modified to increase flow to the high clutch to keep the materials cool and functioning properly. So the clutch pack itself is different as well as some minor flow changes to the case. 2. Extra friction material in the transfer clutch pack It is really all the same. Make sure they do not just replace the clutch packs though. Ask them to full clean the valve body and use all new gaskets and seals EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! Also replacement of pistons is HIGHLY recomended as sometimes their failure can be construed as clutch failure. Tom |
