Question help just bought svx

when I saw It; thought looks good but tranny is not working! Then I heard the motor run bought it. The front grill missing left front signal gone and some minor body work needed. It was in a junkyard towed abandonded on the streets or Fort Mcmurruy AB. I couldn't let it go to the crusher. Now that I have saved it how much trouble am in for? Its a 1992 the tranny had just been rebuilt apparantly in Edmomton at 500k. ago. Where can I get drawings and details on this car as I want to rebuild the tranny myself and modify it to resolve the problems. In Fort Mack I'm on my own to far north to find anyone reliable.

Re: help just bought svx

First off, welcome to the site!

That's not the first SVX to be in Ft. McMurray. I was there with mine a few years ago for Christmas and it cost me a headlight and JDM turn signal due to the rocks other vehicles were throwing.

Post in the Wanted/For Sale forums for any parts you need. When I buy new parts I normally order from the US since Subaru of Canada gouges us on parts!

As for the tranny, you have the option of converting to a manual. It will outlast the auto and makes the SVX that much more fun to drive.

Re: help just bought svx

Hey man I'm right with you I just bought my 92 svx lsl like a week ago and the tranny isn't working, but I found out pretty much the problem: The ATF filters are diry which clogs the passage for the oils to circulate. You might want to check your transmission fluid and filter and if it's not too much, invest in a Transmission oil cooler. Hope this helps

See the recent post "xmission repair manual" in Technical Q&A. Great download of repair manual. And I might have a trans or trans parts for sale soon.
