so no, its not the same...trust me@!!! You know, the tranny in my last SVX lasted for 171k (through 3 owners) the first owner flushed the tranny around every 20k, which i have records of, also he had the tranny filter and anexternal cooler installed at 9k miles. second owner did not and from 147 to 170 the clutchpacks went, vavlebody clogged, and he managed to break the flexplate.
HERE IS THE KEY.....The first owner(whom i have spoken to multiple times and is very excited about where his car is now) had a corvette for his weekend car. He drove the SVX all highway to clients. There fore, his tranny shifted very few times compared to your average car.
The second guy did none of the above, drove around town, and did very little highway driving at all. His average trip was 2 miles to work. The wear and tear involved with intown driving seems to be the culprit in my eyes.
my 2cents, take it or leave it
