On top of all of this, the SVX still does the same weird shifting thing.

ONLY when I hold the car to WOT does it hesitate for a long time between gear, on the magnitude of 2-3 seconds. The transmission was completely replaced by the previous owner, and it has done this for as long as I have owned it.

If I pull back just a little on the throttle right before the shift, it will shift perfect, however I have to wait 2 full seconds before I can floor it again. If I floor it before a set period of time, the engine cuts gas and slows the car down until the time limit has expired.

What I do now, is just pull off a little before the shift and then wait for the tach to reach 4000 and then floor it again, works great, but is annoying not to mention if I ever sell it the next guy will be flipping out at the huge pause between shifts.

any ideas?? maybe the tranny has an incompatible TCU? the engine seems to be cutting the fuel, so how are the ECU and TCU communicating?
