Hi All.

Can anyone recommend a transmission specialist please - preferably in South East England?

The gearbox in my 160k miles manual 6 speed Legacy 3.0r is sounding a bit tired (not surprisingly), so I'm looking into getting it refurbished if it's reasonably feasible.

The gearbox will engage the gears just fine but after a long drive the viscous coupling plates in the centre diff tend to bind causing the knocking when turning on/near full lock, plus there's a general whine which I've been told is most likely the rear tail shaft bearing.

Many thanks in advance,

Paul.

East Anglia rather than SE but MJS Services in Ipswich have an excellent reputation and offer a guarantee on all repairs.

Thanks for your replies.

I've been recommended Teg Sports in Lancs who have a lot of experience with Subaru gearboxes.

Medway Transmissions have done work for me in the past. Always done a good job for sensible money. In the town centre as well so easy walk to the station.
