Transmission Compatability

[Ticorico555]

Hi chris!

I've had this 1992 SVX for a few years handed down by one of my relatives, anyhow, He ran it down to the ground and the car's transmission is useless now, I been thinking about rebuilding it but knowing about the problems associated with earlier models of the 4EAT transmission im a little hesistant. are there other transmissions from other cars of later model that would fit on to the SVX??, your input would greatly be appreaciated, thanks so much

Hi Dorian.
If you want to keep an automatic transmission you have several choises.
ECU Tune out of FL has rebuilt trans in stock 3.545,
4.11, and 4.44 variations.
My choise would be a 4.44.
You can find a used SVX trans, or have someone who knows what they are doing to do the swap for you.
I enjoy doing the 4.44 upgrade but TomsSVX is much closer to you in New Jersey.
If you do a search on 4.44s, it will give you lots of information.
If you want to do it yourself, there is a how to in my signature, and a parts and tool list in my old locker.
Good luck.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your input, Im going to look around and see what I find, Im most likely to hit up tomsvx down in jersey since it isnt that far. I heard of people putting a transmission from a 2001 imprezza? is that possible, thats a manual correct? and yes im looking to keep it automatic for now, IPT Transmissions(http://www.importperformancetrans.com/subaruauto.shtml) in NJ wanted $10,000 big ones to put in a manual transmisison, and their price for a rebuilt automatic is around 4G's, I thought that was ridiculous for the manual swap, anyhow, Im not that familiar with manual so rather burn out the clutch I figured sticking to automatic would be a better bet for now.
