Like a few others, shortly after the purchase of my SVX the tranny went out. I'm still not sure if it was related to a power flush done on the ATF system about a month before it went out or if it was just due for replacement.

I had the transmission completely rebuilt w/ new cluth & solenoid packs along w/ a new tourqe converter. Total bill for removal, rebuilding and installation was $3000. I bargained my way into getting a 5 year / 50K mile warranty on the tranny too. ....then I wrecked the car.

Since then I have purchased a second SVX.

All expenses accounted for, I've invested over $13K in these beautiful cars and I now have one good SVX (complete & driving daily) and a spare set of parts (minus the frame and left front suspension peices).
