Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

Mark, you have provoked a most interesting thread. A minefield of opinions! In the end it comes down to two things: (a) getting the car on the road again ASAP & (b) economics. The litigation route could take months. If you are to keep the car, an exchange unit (recon) with guarantee seems the

The quotes for the remanufactured CVT are all for one from Subaru. FWIW, the independent shop told me ~8000 to put in a remanufactured unit, in the ball park with what the local to what the local dealer told me. The alternative is a used CVT - i.e. one pulled from a car in a junkyard. I'm

Yeah - going with a remanufactued unit sounds like the best option and I'll be working with Subaru and the local dealer. On 5/29/2016 11:23 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: I would avoid a used CVT. You could end up with another failure in short order. Go to a Subaru dealer and bug the company for

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

Thanks, Igor. Reading on the web, it sounds like some CVT's are having problems. The local mechanic I talked to mentions that NIssan had extended their warranty. Unfortunately Subaru has not done that. The reliability issue is indeed a concern. This literally just stopped working while

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

Thanks, Paul - I had no idea that manufacturers did not make their own transmissions. My initial contact with Subaru was positive so I am hoping to be able to work things out. After the first discussion I decided to move the car back here before taking up the issue. Aside from being

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

Jesus that's expensive for a transmission swap. I didn't know the outbacks were using CVTs now. I wonder why it would fail so early. The Prius CVT can hit 200k pretty easily. On May 29, 2016 11:12 AM, "Mark C" wrote: > While just driving along the highway Thursday my 2011

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

I would avoid a used CVT. You could end up with another failure in short order. Go to a Subaru dealer and bug the company for some help on this. If they refuse look into lemon law relief. But I think you can get a new one through Subsru at a discounted price. Paul via phone > On May 29, 2016,

Mark, I do not know anything about Subaru's CVTs. I've had somewhat extensive experience and learned about Nissan's CVTs through the first-hand experience, numerous and very detailed conversations with mechanics and reading/searching for information online. I don't how that would apply to

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

If its Subaru remanufactured its probably fine for what its worth. I would only go with their rebuilds though. Warranty I wouldn't know. 6 months sounds reasonable to me. On May 29, 2016 11:18 AM, "Zos Xavius" wrote: > Jesus that's expensive for a transmission swap. I didn't

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

Firstly, I would be wanting to know what went wrong with the original. It's not unknown for, for example, Ford powershifts to fail here due to lack of maintenance - even with a main dealer FSH. That would be a civil litigation issue. WRT replacement, I would take the "clean room" story with a

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

Just so I understand - you're saying get a used CVT, have someone go into it and look for common faults and repair as needed before installing. Right? Interesting option - I might raise that with the shop that would install a used unit. My thought now, though, would be to try to narrow the

Re: OT - Transmission Replacement - Re manufactured vs Used

Based on what Igor said below, I would do some web research and find out who makes Subaru's CVT. It's not likely Subaru. Two or three companies make most of the world's transmissions, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Nissan and Subaru use the same trans. If so, you can point to Nissan's

Hello Mark, go with a used one canabalized from another Subaru. Don't be afraid. I am an automotive Engineer, having owned a Subaru - albeit one with a 5-gear automatic transmission - uses fluidics and a torque converter. I am not a CVT admirer as these generate friction losses and will not

Yeah, that's a lot. My brother had years of excellent service with his Subaru Forester and then it too died of some rather expensive repairs that kept on coming. (The Prius CVT is a completely different transmission design that can only be utilized with their Synergy parallel hybrid power
