As far as horses go, over the years a few have "escaped the pasture" if you know what I mean. Therefore, it would be good to replace their water because over time it goes stale. A professional would know best. Lastly, you could replace their watering trough & any rubber hoses.

Well, the SVX uses essentially the same 4EAT trans as the Legacy, and as I seem to remember, 230hp and tq was plenty to make the trans unreliable.

Nope, at least not for long.

My automatic holds fine when brake boosting, drag racing and autocrossing. I have stock 96' trans and rear diff, wrx engine at 18psi. I beat my car like it owes me money.

Hmm. the SVX & Legacy SS have stronger 4EAT's than your stock one, yet they do not hold up to upgraded power for long. I would guess that someone upgraded the internals on yours or you got lucky. Or you're doing 18 PSI on "just" a td04. :grin:
