I haven't driven it yet, but my sister mentioned something about a shudder when gettin started. My first thought was the clutch shudder that was prevolent in the 00-01's. I did a search and couldn't find any posts about it happening in the newer models. Has anyone else had a problem with this? I'll be getting a chance to drive it tomorrow, so we'll see. It is a non-turbo and it has about 15,000 miles on it.

Here is a link to tranny swap procedures written by one of the members over at subaru-svx.net It is written for the SVX, so there will be some differences, but for the most part it should be close. You can disregard all of the procedures dealing with the rear end. That is only needed if you swap a transmission with a different final drive ratio.

A cracked flexplate sounds like a loud metal on metal clanging at certain engine speeds, often when NOT under load. Most of them that I've seen are cracked in a circle around the support ring that the bolts go through. A tip to make sure the TC is seated is to measure the distance from the face of the bellhousing to the TC tabs and match it to the distance from the flexplate to the engine block where it meets the bellhousing. Since there are multiple splines that need to get lined up to fully seat the TC, push in in as far as it will go, then spin it clockwise a few times, stop and push in whil slowly turning CCW. Repeat a second time to be sure. Once you do a few, you can tell if it's seated properly by the way it feels... Once it is in, use a long small wire to help hold the TC from slipping out while you maneuver the trans around, make sure to remove the wire once you get the trans into place, before you push it tight against the engine.

Sometime in the next month or so, we'll have a cage in the SVX Racer.

I found this on another car forum I belong to, I know nothing beyond what I'm posting and that it originally came from a Corvair board. >> We just received a phone call from a film production company that >> will be shooting a movie in Schenectady starring Keith Carradine that >> needs background cars for filming.

I was poking around at the yard today and I found a 1st Gen Turbo Legacy sedan (engine is gone). Does anyone know if the spoiler will fit a 2nd gen Legacy sedan?? There were no 2nd gen sedans in there to test fit it on, and it was in fairly rough shape so I'm only gonna buy it if it will come close to fitting. Has anyone done it? Pics?
