Awesome! Hopefully they take care of it. Again, keep us posted!

 

why didn't they just jack up the back end and put the little wheel things under the rear wheels?

 

yeah, I just don't get it, I mean, I've seen plenty of cars being towed front wheels up, rears on the little *insert name here* things.

 

Got my baby back last week (almost a month later). Transmission seems to be fine, but I'm watching it with crackhead-like paranoia now, though. The towing company owner said that the work's covered by a 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty, so that should help in case the tranny falls out. :\

There are still other repairs that need to be done, but after all this, I'm not too sure about keeping the car. I don't have a lot of faith in rebuilt transmissions. I mean, I love my baby, but I don't think she'll live as long as she would have without this whole tranny problem.

 

Thanks everyone for the help and sage advice, especially BAN SUVS and Littleboyblue.

 

I'm glad that everything worked out! If you get rid of the car, what are you going to get to replace it?

 

don't the auto trannys have a fuse that you pull to make it 2wd for towing purposes?

 

do you really think the tow driver would know that much about a subie?

 

Yes, he should. Every Subaru made since 1995 and most of the ones from before then require flatbeds. EVERY tow truck operator should know this, as should their dispatchers. Especially when the customer tells them so...

 

Another GF8, hopefully...

 

Just GF... there are maybe 10 GF8s in this country... that's an EJ20-powered Impreza wagon.

 

I was referring to the 2wd fuse

 

Still, a GF8 would be nice...
