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...

Not any other svx owners I don't think. Svx are quiet rare. They have a flat 6 engines I think.

What is that

It looks like sumit off the arnold film running man and terminator 1 combined lol

 

Put some more pics up of diff angles im intreaged

yup flat six engines - not sure if they have same gearbox as a legacy??

Supposedly it is the same box, also found in the Forester and Nissan Pathfinder. It's the 4EAT, so not too rare.

That's good then, probably the easiest thing to do would be to source a 2nd hand box and swap it out

Yea just ignore me

 

Sound 👍

"Enjoy your prius"

Brilliant!

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...

wow - a little oil contamination then
