| I need your help to fix a problem gone on far too long. my subaru svx transmission suffers with a delay when shifting gears, high revs and slipping while shifting and a clunking when putting the car in reverse. the heat transmission installed in the subaru svx and legacy models suffer from a severe cooling problem. the radiator based transmission cooler can not cool the transmission fluid cool enough. the transmissions poor design does not allow the lubricant to flow through it to keep parts lubricated(thus more friction and heat damage). unusual high overdrive places additional side loads on bearings generating heat. the all-wheel-drive system puts even more strain on the transmission causing even more heat. this problem is of epidemic proportion so common among over 90% of these cars manufactured. subaru is aware of the manufacturing and engineering defects in the transmissions for all svx models. almost all svx owners, every website, and even your own complaint files are aware of this major defect and specific problems with the transmissions. subaru has done nothing if anything to correct this problem. this problem is widespread and the manufacturer knows about it. at the very least i need subaru to replace my defective transmission with a new one upgraded with high clutch drum and thrust bearings, new reverse clutch steel plates, modified transmission case, oil pump gasket and transfer clutch driven plate, a transmission oil filter kit and an after transmission oil cooler and warranty it. this car is too expensive to fix the damage from their defective design and unusually high cost compared to other transmissions. dt | |||
