Re: 3rd and 4th gear are not engaging + weird smell
Fiiip,
You can be sure that your English is excellent.
(1) First, second and reverse ratios transmit the least torque and this is exactly why the transmission is restricted to these ratios when it goes into in limp mode as they will be less liable to clutch slip at lower line pressures. As a result the transmission can be driven in limp mode while being less liable to damage through the upper ratios slipping.
(2) With a 4.4 final drive ratio the car will have better acceleration, but will not reach as high a maximum speed under ideal conditions. Importantly you will lose the low engine speed, at high road speed, cruising feature built into the SVX and which makes it a true GT car. You indicate that you value it as GT car.
It is surely obvious that the line pressure should be checked before deciding to replace the transmission. If the engine was overheating would it not be sensible to check that the water pump is operating, before deciding to replace the radiator? Cost of a belt or pulley as opposed to the cost of a radiator.
