I'd agree with you there Huck. One of the great benefits of parts bin sharing, will mean that the trans (with the exception of the few missing clutch plates) will be basically identical in materials and strength to the one used in the SVX.

I've had my 4.11 trans in my car for over 1.5K miles now and it's doing extremely well. No gear whine, no slipping gears, nothing... I've also done a little back road carving and two practice launches at 2500 rpms from a dead stop. She still shifts like a dream!
