I am a neophite to all the information you are dropping, but I am here for a purpose. To save myself some trouble.

Do all you guys have tranny coolers?

You recommend removing the tranny cooler belly pan, but not in winter climates? I understand that.

Do SVX's have tranny fluid temperature gauges? Or are all of yours aftermarket?

I am only asking to make sure I understand. I am printing this out and taking notes. I am about to buy a 1992 or possibly 1994 SVX and I want to make the tranny lasts as long as possible, but I have no idea how the previous owner abused it or not. Thanks for any help, because I am new to the car and really don't have a lot of money for expensive repairs, but like a lot of people I love the looks, perforance and design of the RARE SVX.
