The failed transmission poll
Not sure if this was ever done or if I will do it right but I will give it a shot. The idea here is to get an idea of the rate of failures for different model year cars under various conditions.

Re: The failed transmission poll
Good idea.
How about those of us who have the original tranny, never failed, but are starting to suspect a failure in the not-so-distant future? It's not for certain yet, but my car is having... symptoms...

Re: The failed transmission poll
Mine is a 1994 with 187,000 kms and the tranny is just starting to slip between 1st and 2nd. I'm hopin it's a solenoid problem but have not checked it out yet.

Re: The failed transmission poll
As far as I know, my 94 has the original trans in it and is at 192k miles.
However, the differentials had issues and were attended to as necessary.

Re: The failed transmission poll
Help me understand how transmission failure has anything to do with horsepower gain.

Re: The failed transmission poll
I always wondered if there was a way to tell if the transmission was original or not. As far as I know mine is original but I can't really tell since I don't have service history prior to my ownership.

Re: The failed transmission poll
My cars haven't been modded (excepting an aux transmission cooler on the teal) and have not suffered had a tranny failure on my watch. The teal supposedly had a transmission "overhaul" performed by Subaru shortly before I bought the car, but all I have to back this up is the salesman's word. I've put about 55,000 miles on this car.
The silver came with receipts and a notation in the owner's manual showing the transmission was replaced in the late 1990s at just under 70,000 miles. Nothing of which I'm aware suggests any other tranny work between then and when I bought it at 154,000 miles. Hard to put my finger on why exactly, but the tranny in the silver feels tighter and seems to have a bit more bite. This is the car I usually take on road trips. dcb |

Re: The failed transmission poll
My original tranny failed in the unmodified 93 that SomethingElse now owns.
But that was my fault. I was too poor/fiscally irresponsible to be able to afford more than two tires at a time. I also had no idea of the consequences that decision would present to me, at that time.

Re: The failed transmission poll
If you are certain it is failing, you can list it as a fail. Otherwise, assume the best case scenario for now.

Re: The failed transmission poll
That's a lot of mileage and you don't know if it is failing so I would call that a non-fail...for now. I think I will leave this poll open for a long time to let people go in and change their choices as necessary.

Re: The failed transmission poll
I would call a diff problem a separate problem.

For those who bought a car and know or were told it was replaced due to failure, I would vote it as a failure.
