I have two SVX's, a 94 and a 95. Both have 139,000 miles. Both have original trannys, no aftermarket coolers. The 94 tranny just died rececently. That seems like a long life to me. The biggest problem was with the early (read 1992) SVX's. They went through tranny's like Chryslers do. Yes, there are exceptions, but not many.

i've read that if you lower your transmission fluid temp by 20 degrees, you double the life of the transmission. seems reasonable. if your '94 tranny had an aftermarket cooler, maybe it would have lived even longer?

if you don't have a transmission fluid temp gauge, i'd highly recommend it. you'll learn how your transmission 'behaves' and you can adjust your driving style accordingly.
