Hey! Wanna buy me a ticket over to Ireland, I'd love to look at all the spooky old castles and stuff, and in return I'd help you rebuild your tranny. I could even buy the parts here at the ex-employee discount I get. I wonder if you'd have to buy a ticket for eddy too, I ain't goin' nowhere without my eddycat. Oh, yeah, might want to include the wife in there somewhere, her family hails from Ireland. I think she said that before the last name got *americanized* it was McGarvin. |

Long shot on the tranny issue
Hi Joe.
I replied with the website for the Dismantlers in the UK SVX Yahoo forum...hopefully you have the address now. This is only an idea and I may be wrong (and please correct me if I am anyone!) but I seem to remember mention being made of similarities between the E-4AT and the tranny's used in other cars especially Nissan Q45's which apparently also suffered from overheating with a warning not to tow! Anyways, maybe chase up through Nissan Eire who is qualified to do rebuilds on the Q45 tranny - the similarities (as I understand them to be - could be wrong of course, It was from ages ago on Yahoo) may allow someone conversant to be able to rebuild yours - or at least have an idea of what they are doing. Just a thought! James

WOW!!! Thanks. If I buy a remote off a Japanese site, can I programme that too? Joe |

On a negative note, and James will be aware of this, most Jeeps [that's what we collectively call 4x4's round here] would be bought in manual form for farm work. The main 4x4 to come in auto form is the Range Rover, more to do with cost and owner profile than usability. I will track down some Nissan contacts though and give it a go. Joe |

McGarvin is unusual. Have seen McGarvey and McGavin, but with anglicisation or americanisation, anything is possible. Bummer on the rejection, they never say why, these days could be giving you ammo to come back at them under various legislations. A possible suggestion: you mentioned maybe some of your references were throwing you under a bus. Think about this. Drink some Wild Turkey 101 and think about it some more. If there is someone in your references you feel at gut level might pull your plug, then maybe your paranoia is right. Include him out of your application next time round, have an excuse ready if you're asked. Might make all the difference. Joe |

A new remote has to be ordered from Subaru HO and costs Y18000 (about US$220). The reason it is so expensive is that they will have to make a new remote specifically for your vehicle and to do that they need the Chassis Number, the ID no. on the remote control unit (which the dealer thinks is behind the glovebox) and if you have it, the key no. According to the dealer there is no other way to program the remote for Japanese spec models. PS Will send you the info on programming the code to use the drivers door latch once I have double checked it by trying it again on my vehicle. paddlesnz Gunma JAPAN |

It would be more accurate to say "Just because you *aren't* paranoid is no guarantee they are not out to get you" Better in my book to presume they are out to get you as a start or default position. This is how I ride my Honda as a defence against arrogant slobs in SUV's and panel vans. Human nature being what it is, you won't be disappointed too often when they do it to you. And the few times you are wrong can reaffirm your faith in the better side of humanity. Joe |

remote alternatives
instead of getting the OEM remote, why not get an alarm, keyless entry, remote start package?
i did a quick search and found this site: http://www.commandoalarms.com/ that has a complete package for US$100 or a FM version for US$210. seems like a lot better deal. in fact, i'll probably get one myself. note: the above link is the coolest one i found while searching for a couple minutes. toby |

Alarming site
That's a good site Toby. The prices are so cheap, you'd wonder if they were effective.
Most of the gear looks fully featured though. Thanks for the link. Joe |
