Ontopic The new car-seching thread

Yeah, none of your TorqueFlite and 700R4 knowledge from 1966 applies to a modern transmission, old guy.

God that sucks, nothing I remember from when I was 6 years old applies.

Ok, it's inside now. Shame but yeah, progress. Still outside on some later models . . . Honda was doing them up outside until early 20-teens afaik.
Don't be more dick than usual. I'll try to do the same.

I've never seen a post 2000 transmission that didn't have the solenoids integrated as part of the valve body. Hell, even the stupid Jatco in @AppleTurkey's Infiniti has the solenoids and transmission control unit inside the case. I know GM was doing the same, too, starting with the 4L60.

I'm just calling you old because you're 60, gramps. Go hang an onion from your belt or something

Sorry homes, Honda went past 2000 with exturdnal on some models. Can we compromise with a shallot up my butt?

And it looks like you can buy the solenoid separate, just not from the dealer.

I'd say call up an independent tranny shop, say "hey I've got a subaru CVT that needs this solenoid replaced, I can source the solenoid or you can", and have them do it. The job doesn't look that hard and it's definitely DIYable, but it'll be a miserable messy job best done with the car on a lift and you're definitely better off paying someone else to deal with that bullshit.

Yeah, I don't have time to wait for a solenoid to ship from Poland, as we only have one vehicle.

edit: Available on Amazon. yay

Thanks for reminding me that the US has shitty car buying tendencies so no Levorg.

Fly should get the one with 168k. Why not - things got life-time fluid and shit.

@gee's idea seems to be the way to go. This is the part.

I would have thought him for at least 6 in the outback.

The problem with a full transmission (for me), is that my dude can't come to the house and do it.

Why not, is he a pussy?

I've no idea.

 

[Jehannum]

I've no idea.

I can't tell you how many transmissions I've done in the driveway. I don't have enough fingers to count them. Just yesterday, I found a random pilot bushing in the lavender shrub I was cleaning up next to the garage.

He wants to be at his place when he takes a break. COme on, doing a transmission at someone else's place would suck unless you are dragging a butt ton of stuff there.

 

[wetwillie]

That's valid 2021 opinion, even without an onion up my ass.

is that because you're missing a bunch of fingers from doing transmissions in the driveway?
