I need help with an SVX

[newbie]

Ok i need some help.

 

I have a '92 AWD Subaru SVX (automatic) and the transmission is shot. I need to find a place with a good price on a used transmission (in good condition) so i can swap the transmissions. Or I need to have the current one rebuilt. I also heard that i could possibly use the tranny from an AWD impreza or other subaru..would that work?

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on places to go or how to fix?

Ouch

I feel your pain, I just had to replace the trans in mine.

 

If you are looking for a used trans have you tried Car-parts.com

 

Also, have you checked out the SVX Network

There are a few members over there from CO.

 

Good luck and enjoy it when its done.

You could always swap a 5spd in it. Here some info if you want opn the 5spd conversion. http://www.smallcar.com/svx/5speed.htm

You could use one from an outback, but you will have to change the rear end also because of the gear ratio's. The SVX uses a 3.54 ratio and the outback use 3.90 i think or 4.11

 

I have a good Legacy B4 twin turbo tranny that would work great in the SVX but the ratio is 4.54 so you would have to get a rear end out of a Forester...You would loose you top speed but think of the take off power:cool:

I like wrxsubaru's idea:D I would get an SVX in an instant if they had made some stock 5 speeds :boohoo:
