Thanks again for the helpful replies guys...

Kuoh...Actually I was wondering if I shouldnt be telling the dealer that I want a reman tranny...It is covered by the powertarin warranty and Im afraid that having the rear wheels not getting power and sending all the power to the front wheels that the front differential may be damaged too..or possibly the rest of the tranny has been damaged by disintegrated transfer clutch bits in the tranny fluid. I may also be paranoid...doing a littler research on the SVX transmission on this site can do that to ya

CigarJohnny...I have never fallen out of love with the SVX...even though I love my WRX the SVX is just so much more refined, smooth, luxurious and comfortable on long drives that I find its charms impossible to resist.
