How did you 4EAT go?

[SubaruSVXCrazy]

How did your tranny die or what was the symptom?
Did you notice it at first?
Did you ignore it for a while?
How many miles?
Was it drivable?
How did you reslove it?
How much did it cost?

This should be FUN.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Mine had sliped from a dead stop to 1st.
- Yes, I bought it that way.
- You bet, for 2 1/2 years.
- Went at 97,000 mi.
- Yes.
- Put a tranny cooler.
- It cost $1900.

Changing my front and rear tires in pairs, killed mine.

My Claret's front differential went. Pinion gear lost a few teeth. The Emerald Pearl I bought with a bad tranny. It wouldn't go out of 1st and when the trans got hot it wouldn't move at all. Now it has another FWD trans.

My 92 started slipping in 3rd. Limped for a few weeks before pulling it. Never officially died completely.
Wife's 92 slipped all around and went from working perfectly to dead in one day.

Not till at least after I find a house, so June-ish? No worries you and OT are my short list.

EDIT: And that was my first one, who knows what wrong with this one...

I didn't have enough $ to put in a 6 speed. and I was going to but a 5 speed kit but dale said they weren't good. So I settled for the rebuild. I had only 4000 to spend. So sadly I settled. But I'm going to keep this a for a REALLY LONG TIME. So I'm gonna do it next tranny job. I want the 6 speed so. I'll let you know when that happens. Trust me I will do it. Automatic is boring

Then Dayle might want to explain why there are over 10 5spd swaps I did personally that are still going and several more that got my kit that are still going

One morning, no reverse. 1,2 and 3 seemed to work fine to the tranny shop. $1,200 for new clutch pack.

Shattered the spider gears. On the FWD tranny, while trying to get stage III running right with LAN.

It started with a minor slip in 4th. I nursed that for a couple weeks. Once 4th died, 3rd was a one day deal.

It's still mobile, just not fixed yet.

Mine's working fine, except for occasional hard 1-2 shift, and it goes a bit crazy on highway cruises for 30+ minutes at cold temps. I think my trans cooler is too effective and just makes it unlock the torque converter though.

Front diff went.
