SVX transmissions suck!

Well, I am back from NZ. Didn't see a single SVX and I travelled the entire north island!! (In a piece of ****e 2008 Ford XR6-it fell to pieces during our trip!!)

Saw loads of nice Legacy's and WRX though!! Also played 2 gigs in Canberra - and saw zero SVX.....

So, back to my tranny....

1st and 3rd work perfect. Reverse takes a good while to engage - about 1 and a half seconds.

I have decided NOT to install a 6 speed manual. WAAAY to much hassle for me (with new pedals, ECU programming etc) and I am happy with an auto...One that works that is!

So, what should one expect to pay for a nice recondition job?? I want it to be improved upon during the recondition as well!! (i.e. installing an external filter!!)

Will the parts I order for my 1992 4EAT be the "improved" 4EAT parts or would that require a full replacement as opposed to a "recondition"????

I don't want to have to go through this for at least another 200,000kms. What is my best course of action people???!

Recondition or Replace? Price IS an issue!!!

Cheers,

Mike
