So far, the tranny is holding up fine (at least as of this morning at 235 mi. !) --- you guys are scaring me...

Thankfully, I won't be using it as a daily commuter. I originally set out looking for a "clean" SVX to use as a daily driver, as opposed to my Boxster, but then I found this one. Now, it will share the daily driving chores with the Boxster and my Outback!!!

P.S. I just found the first thing wrong with the car this morning...the driver's side window washer doesn't squirt. Is this the beginning of the end for the tranny?!?!
