Questions About 1996 Subaru SVX’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Subaru's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Subaru SVX? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your SVX towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SVX is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my SVX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Subaru SVX’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Subaru, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Subaru SVX? Yes. Subaru SVX transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
