cpelsy2k1 I was told to shift the transmission into drive, drive forwards for a bit, then brake and shift into reverse. If the tranny doesn't go into reverse very easily then you may have a tranny on the way out. Also, someone mentioned that 2nd and 4th gears go out first in the forward gears.

Good luck with your purchase! I'm also looking to purchase an SVX and have the same concerns...
