Re: bad tranny need help!!!!

Sounds similar when my high clutch went out it would rev to redline when going from 3rd to 4th.

Yup, same thing happened to mine. Many others as well. It is what usually fails first on these transmissions.

Re: bad tranny need help!!!!

2nd gear is probably still ok. Keep the shifter there if you need to keep driving it to avoid unnecessary slipping. Only use 3rd if you're not accelerating.

Re: bad tranny need help!!!!

Well the high clutch really has nothing to do with 2nd gear. I believe the band brake does though. Possibly multiple failures within the transmission.

As for what to do depends on your budget & time. Putting in another auto will be quicker & cheaper but not my personal preference. The decision is yours.

Re: bad tranny need help!!!!

I sell a very good transmission that will last longer than your car and shifts lightning fast. svxfiles just installed one in Jonathan Winaker's car (Jnthn_Sctt) so you can ask either of them about it. Normand, Nomad on here, also has one. Another network member in Colorado has one but I'm having a mental lapse on his network name.


YourConfused also got one and said it didn't work right but he refused to send it back or even work with me on the phone to figure out what was going on. There was also a guy who smashed his front pump while installing it with the torque converter on wrong. I assume he replaced his pump and was happy but I haven't heard from him.

Re: bad tranny need help!!!!

SVX transmissions rebuilt with better friction materials, more clutches, higher apply pressures, faster shifts, the special order from Japan parts you only get in rebuilds from me or Subaru, NOK Japan seals and some upgraded seals from Germany. It comes to you or preferably the shop where you are getting it installed in a hardwood crate complete with a new torque converter and no core is required. They are $3400 plus 250 flat rate shipping in the lower 48. http://www.ecutune.com/4eat.htm
