Joining the Ranks.......
Of the multiSVX club.
I brought home a nice 92 yesterday. Thanks Mike. It made the 120 mile trip just fine. In fact, the last 10 miles, I started hammering on it. the tranny didnt slip after the long drive. I shut it down for about 5 minutes and then took it out again and it started slipping again. On a different note, I managed to screw up the driver side door. I left your house and the locks and windows were working. I stopped for lunch, lock the car, came out, unlocked it jut fine. An hour later, stopped at the Wawa and the manual lock didnt work. I couldnt even push it down. The key wouldnt work either. Oh well, I'd just look at it when I got home. I jump back in and head for the Chesapeake bay bridge. I pull up to the toll booth, the window goes down, I hand over the cash. As I pull away I put the window up. The window goes all the way up and when it gets to the top there is a loud CRACK. I look the window is still in tact. I'll look at it at home too. I get home and the manual locks still not working. I try the keyless entry, it works fine. Try the window it does down a 1/4 inch and stops, wont go back up. I grab the window and I can push it up and down by hand with no resistance.

my advice, sell the bastard!!! always take it this way, once you buy something and trouble begins, it means that this thing is not coming from the seller's heart. my advice is to sell it and buy another SVX

Hey Mike. Good to hear you made it home OK.
I would guess that the lock and window problems are tied together in some way. I bet when you pop the door panel off it will become quite obvious. Anyway, enjoy your new project. And SilverSpear, the car was sold with a very clear understanding of what was wrong with it, and at a price that took those problems into account, so keep your seller-disparaging remarks to yourself.

the window problem is likely to be the sleeve lock regulator @ $7.58. Look on this page (it works for 92s too, they just don't show the part # for 92s, I have done it along with others):
http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=601-1 The door lock problem (for me) turned out to be a defective motor....but you say the keyless entry worked, so if it locks/unlocks by keyless and not by manual, then I doubt the motor - it may just be the whole mechanism is worn. In either case it's a bit less than $150, look here: http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=602-A

Well started a few repairs.
Had the exhaust leak fixed = $145 Took apart the driverside door and determined all the problems were caused by a $2 plastic clip. I ordered it and scheduled an appointment for the tranny.
