RS ratios become too short when used on a forced induction 2.5L, you run out of gearing literally before you get a chance to shift.. it can be frustrating. I'll defer to those who have used an RS 5MT transmission in their SVX on whether or not that phenomenon occurs in the SVX or not. It would certainly deliver devastating acceleration, probably devastating to the gearset unless care is taken by the driver to shift smoothly and easily to prevent shockloading the teeth.
