The transmission is not made of glass. It is terribly under-cooled in this particular application - the SVX - but other than that it's a fine transmission. It's used in plenty of other cars without problems.
Anyway, I'm sorry you had problems with your particular SVX. But that's hardly representative of every SVX built. Mine has been very reliable.

Exactly. 4EAT tranny isn't weak, persay... just undercooled for our application. Wish they would have put a little more research into their research and design process.
Either way, after driving Alex's 6-speed, wouldn't you rather have that, Nick (even if only for fun-factor)?
So, how was the drive home from Minnesota?
