Joe, you are right for the most part.

SVX transmissions are equipped with better clutches and more of them.

The valve bodies do differ although I do not know the specifics of them right now.

The 4.11 transmission will fail becuase they were not build to have this much power pushing them, AND this much weight holding them down. Thus too much heat will be generated inside of them.

BUT most people miss the most important part... Why is it that these transmissions fail?? Low line pressure or low fluid flow (gets too hot in one spot for too long)

Thats where the 4.44 transmissions come in handy, they are built very similar to the 4.11's with a few exceptions but the high gear ratios effect the speed the pump will spin at. Thus effecting the velocity of the fluid and speeding that up as well. The more flow, the less heat... Thats my theory as to why the 4.11's don't last as long as the 4.44's.
