No Reverse
My Ex-Wife has 2 SVXs, one wrecked one not.
the one not has suddenly no reverse. She wants me to swap trannies, before I do that, is there any electronics to check for no reverse? The linkage seem to be operating properly. Bill |

Re: No Reverse
How do you feel about the tranny in the wrecked one? Are you a do it yourself person?
This happened to me, many years back, and I immediately took it into a local transmission shop that contracts with the local Subaru dealer for repairs/rebuilds. It turned out a $1,200 rebuild took care of it because more damage wasn't done. That was 30K miles ago. Just one person's experience and maybe the lazy man's solution. Gene

Re: No Reverse
I am just wondering why you would even consider swapping a trans for your EX-Wife.

That being said, if you know the history on the other transmission and trust it for a good time, go ahead with it. Even moreso if you can do the work yourself. |

He must be one of the lucky ones that didn't get burned down in the divorce settlement.

Re: No Reverse
On the other hand I applaud him for working to keep another SVX on the road.

Re: No Reverse
I agree on that. I know that I don't have that kind of relationship with my EX.
