Hey guys, so I feel like I am at a hill I can't get over. I think I have reached a point where I need to rebuild the trans, assuming it will need new output shafts bearings, as I have a whine that is getting worse that only changes with MPH, not gear, clutch, or engine speed. I unfortuantely let my brother take the RS on a trip up to Michigan, and since he used it this noise has come about (and when I blame him, the parents get mad ... LOL!).
The car is a 98, has 150,000 miles on it, and the trans is felling sloppy as it is. Anyway, I am assuming I am going to have to get this done somewhere (as trans service requires some special tools?), and am maybe looking for some advice of where, or what, or whatever ideas you have off the top of your head, maybe even upgrading trans internals, while everything is apart, for better performance? I have spent quite a bit of time researching with no success yet. I would vastly appreciate any knowledge you have. I have read some stuff about RA gears and such, but seem to be getting nowhere...:disappear
Anyway, I live just south of Chicago. I have done some asking around of trying to find some shops that will work on a Subaru trans, but have got nowhere yet. And again, any knowledge anybody has off the top of there head, i will vastly appreciate!
