not sure what to do with tranny...
Posted: Sat Apr 02, 2016 8:46 pm
so ive got most of the quirks on my legacy worked out. only 2 problems remain: the AC and the transmission.
the tranny is the most pressing. it shifts into gears fine, albeit a little slowly from park to reverse or drive. on the road it shifts normally.
when you give it gas at normal speeds (35 - 65mph), sometimes it cannot make up its mind what RPM it wants to be in. when you give it more gas, it hooks and seems to accelerate normally. when i mash the gas and turn the power light on, sometimes it cant decide if it wants to be in a lower gear or some pass over gear, but most of the time it will hook like normally.
at stops, i have to accelerate slowly and not give it a lot of gas or ill chirp the front tires. tranny doesnt seem to hook until about 1500-ish rpm.
took it to a tranny shop who charged me 60 bucks to diagnose it, said there is internal failure(s) of some sort and wanted to charge me ~700 more to take it off and find the problem. that's not including parts.
so ive been checking ebay and other online outlets and found a few trannys. price is right, both have warranties on them, would likely be a little cheaper to replace mine with one that's already working and not have to go to the downtime of no car.
car is a 91 legacy AWD, AT, NA, EJ22 motor, non-turbo, non-abs.
if anyone has a heads up on where i can get a good reman tranny for my car, or what other trannys are a direct swap that require no other parts, id be much obliged
