WTB: Any SVX with bad trans, but decent body.

RS22b · #1 11-13-2008, 12:14 PM

Looking for any year, any color SVX with a bad trans or bad rear.

Motor doesnt need to be in great shape, but would prefer it to be in good running order.

Car must be complete!

My GF is looking for a new eproject car and we landed on using an SVX for this particular experiment!

SVX is one of the only Subaru models i havent owned yet and would like to add one to the collection of 10 i have right now! hehe.

Wish I had found you guy's while I was living in Jersey. I might have actually finished my car. Instead I now have a slightly modded car with about $10K in parts sitting in my garage waiting for someone to buy everything and finish it.

It doesn't really qualify as "bad trans" but mine is for sale and in need of a brake band adjustment

It does need minor body work so as a project crusade it would be great for beginner practice

My husband and I are out in Long Island, NY and we're looking to sell our SVX for a very reasonable price! The transmission is good for now, but everything else seems to be going on it: rear struts and springs, rear sway bar, front/left lower ball joint, and front sway bar links. If you're interested let me know!

Tranny just went out in my 92' Claret/Black SVX. Engine in good shape, replaced the cam, crank, temp, radiator, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, among other things recently. Tires in good shape. Interior good. ECU Tune chip. Body is in good shape other than a little paint on the passengers door. I repaired a scratch and the clear coat did not turn out right, but it does not ook terrible. No other body damage. Ran mobil 1 synthetic the whole time I have had it. I am just looking to cover the towing fees. If you or anyone else is interested pm me or e-mail me.

I have a complete 92, in running and inspected order. slight rust around rear wheel wells, and power steering leak. I am looking to trade it for 95+ legacy or impreza ideally i would like a impreza outback sport. I would also consider selling it or trading for others.

Not sure if you're still looking but I'm in San Diego. I love my pearl white 1992 Subaru LS-L but the transmission just took a major dump on me and it's in my mechanics lot. The transmission was rebuilt with shift kit by DRW Transmission in San Diego in 2001.

It is a 1992 with a good body (it has been hit twice in the right rear fender--not my fault

but repaired each time under insurance). The drive axle in new (one of four in the country). I can post/send photos

I'm not sure what's up with the tranny. All the fluid leaked out last Saturday while I was driving and coasting to the side of the road to get safely out of traffic may have finished off the tranny).

The 2 front wheel bearings also need replacing. If you're interested please let me know. I'm going to be posting it in FS here soon.
