Keep an old SVX on the road?

[Conorato]

My trusty gorgeous SVX has taken me across Europe, ton up cruising, seen me through snow where no others would go, and turns heads and gets “seriously, WTFs from young un’s, and smiling nods of appreciation from old gits like me.

The auto box died today. I have long thought about swapping it out for a Legacy 5 speed box, but don’t know a reliable shop that could do it. Recommendations would make an old git happy.

Swap to a manual or another auto box?

To a manual. That unleashes the beast to perform as it could have been. Apparently.

What a bu**er. I believe the SVX has a flat 6 and 4EAT autobox? ...

Nice one - had not thought to replace the auto box. I assumed that being as rare as they are, the SVX box would have been manufactured from unobtainium by a solitary now retired and 140 year old samurai. So a 4EAT box from a Legacy might do it...thanks for the tip.
