tranny gear play

[SCOOBYurabus]

hi everyone, i am buying a 1993 legacy ss 5 speed with 160k miles but scared to buy do to the tranny. I drove it and whenever it was in any gear, the shifter would move side to side as it felt like it was in nuetral but drove fine.....what do you think whats wrong with it or is it fine??????????????????????????

common problem, shifter bushings, fairly easy fix and doesn't mean the transmission is bad

Its a little steep for my taste....considering I will be selling my 91 SS with 300whp for 3300-3500 running on E85 and standalone and otherwise in good condition.

The low miles are a plus and maybe worth the extra $$ in the long run.

price varies on the region of the country u live in.
as for bushings, they are cheap.
some bone stock leggys sell for 3500ish, while other that are modded sell for the same price.
cant see pics unless u register, try quoting his post and post them here.
oh, and where do u live?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Its in Colorado.... it's overpriced for the region. I had a difficult time selling a mint condition (zero rust with immaculate interior) touring wagon for $1500. And I paid $2400 for my 91 SS in 2007, in completely stock form.

Ahhh the one celliot is selling? Bonus that its an oem 5sp and not swapped and the low miles are a plus like maci said. I honestly have a few friends looking into it and it IS slightly overpriced but not by a lot. Its clean with clean mods with great potential. Maybe you can haggle him down as I KNOW he needs the cash/sell the car. And honestly, tlegs flucuate here in Colorado, I've had rando people come up to me and seriously try to buy it off me for more than I paid for it/have put into it

I only payed 800 bucks for my 93 ss
5 spd. Ha!!

i live in awd colorado hahah but i might buy it but not sure

[SCOOBYurabus]

so should i just buy it or look for a subaru outback sport to slamm????? im buying a 2009 sti in the fall anyways

[alexandermf]

If ur already getting a sti in fall I'd rock an NA. But that tleg is pretty kickass and has alot more potential in it given some tlc

If I were you, I'd find a cheap non turbo for the mean time. Not everyone would say so but these older turbo cars are fairly maintenance intensive. Pretty much everyone I've seen who bought one in the last couple years dropped some serious coin in making it reliable, faster, etc.



But if you already have a daily driver and want a project car to wrench on, drop endlous amounts of cash on, and learn the ends And outs of Scoobies then these are a good choice.

Money pits. Seriously

I agree with Mike....if you want a project car, sure....if you're looking for a no-non-sense daily, get a non-turbo cheap car.
