What I have noticed is that the SVX trany likes to spend a lot of time slipping, causing lots of extra heat, causing premature decay of the trany fluid, causing excessive internal wear.
If one could force power mode on the trany all the time, this would be the easiest way to make the trany last almost forever. But you would sacrifice the designed comfort control the TCM manages for the SVX.(I've been reading up on the 4EAT trany, and trying to decipher the control logic of the TCM. my current concern is the logic that engages the AWD to a 50-50 split.)

Or the Level10 valve body does just that, aswell as adding larger journals for better oil flow, and therefore cooling.

Add a trany cooler, and keep the trany fluid fresh=a trany that will never fail(ok, almost never)
