gear box trouble
History :
December 2001 - GearBox crapped out January 2002 Fixed, (on the way home from the garge, broke again fixed again in january 2weeks after being fixed, i was driving at 60kmh and it went up to 160kmh, but didnt increase in road speed at all to the point today, got the car back form getting the rear wheel bearings replaced, driving along and the same happened, the speedo jumped up to 160Kmh, when i was doin 80 then 1 minute later i was doing 60, and it went up to 80, but still didnt increase in road speed, trans feels VERY hot around the gear shifter, and when it goes up to 160(im ony going 60) the engine revs up real high pitch, (or maybe the gearbox) what is the reason for this |

Todays Problem
ok, took it out this morning, everything sounded fine
warmed it up went out a back street then put it into first and hit the manual button, and took it out to 6K then to 2nd then 3rd, really working it hard, then took it easy again, got to where i was goin, stopped got out, everything seemed fine walked into a shop, then looked out at my car, and white smoke was coming from the front, ran out opened it up and a little bit of white smoke came out (not steem), engine wasnt to hot, and gearbox didnt feel hot like does most of the time, i started it up let it idle for a sex, then put it into Nutral, and reved it to only 2.5K and as it came down past 1K the whole car shook a bit, then again, after i reved it up, and still does it now i dont like this!! im gonna go take a few pics of under the hood, and around my car, any requests 1991 SVX 4WD 4WS |

Re: Todays Problem

The chief mechanic at Penrith Subaru loves the SVX and they have had quite a few come through - the fact that you have an SVX and that it is probably the only 4WS in the country may see an extra bit of attention paid to the car. Its worth a shot but from the sounds of it, you need someone familiar with an SVX and not just a local mechanic.\ Sorry to hear about what is happening James
