I took the SVX to Ohio...
...of course, not under its own power.
Yesterday, Todd called me and said he'd have his tranny out in another '15 minutes' worth of work (famous last words, right, Todd? ). So my father-in-law drove up and we picked the tranny up leter that day. Using a trailer borrowed from his office, we took the car down to his garage in Findlay, Ohio. It's parked in between his two Karmann Ghias. There it will sit, with the tranny next to it, until this weekend. Amber and I plan to drive down there Friday night and stay there so her dad and I can get an early start on it Saturday morning. I'll have to tape all my cartoons. The car barely fit on the trailer. Since it had short sides all around, I couldn't open the door and had to crawl out through the window. Hopefully that's the only time I ever have to do that in the SVX.

Highway friggin' robbery
I just called Ann Arbor Subaru about a couple of parts that I may need for the SVX when I do the tranny swap this weekend. I was looking for a flex plate, since some members have found theirs cracked or broken, and the oil pan gasket.
Subaruparts.com wants 17.11 for the gasket and 28.68 for the flex plate. Ann Arbor Subaru wants 31.43 for the gasket and 52.68 for the flex plate. OW! And they might not be able to get them this week. I think I'll chance the flex plate and the gasket can probably wait until Subaruparts.com can get one to me.

Flexplate
Hi Nick, Based on my expericence, I would wait a week and put a new/like new flexplate in and save doing it again in a short time. Or start doing your tranny and find a bad flexplate at that time. By the way, are you and Amber going to the Midwest meet? The weekend of June 27th-29th. Take care, BOBB

92's have power seat belts. Sunroof needs the key on to open/close. Does that clear it up a bit?
