jacare Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Just bought by first Subaru, and it's great apart from the gearbox (advice needed). But it's an SVX- are there any other owners here? A problem shared is a problem solved... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveuk260.Esq Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Not any other svx owners I don't think. Svx are quiet rare. They have a flat 6 engines I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 yup flat six engines - not sure if they have same gearbox as a legacy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacare Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Supposedly it is the same box, also found in the Forester and Nissan Pathfinder. It's the 4EAT, so not too rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good then, probably the easiest thing to do would be to source a 2nd hand box and swap it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacare Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Here's a picture of one end of the gearbox innards after a slight cough at 70 mph- a crucial bit of the thing at the end of the 'box (technical term) had all its coggery sheared off...
