So
that's what a responsive SVX feels like. =D
It is sooo much easier to get up to 140 now.
I kid. I haven't even pushed it beyond 3k rpm, and I don't intend to until about 500 miles of breaking in the new tranny.
At that point, I might take it up to 5k on occasion, but I won't really romp it for another 500 iles.
So basically, they did a major overhaul. The guy said my tranny was basically destroyed. You should have seen the look on his face when I asked him if it was bad. xD~
Toast front to back he said.
Also, it seems they had to replace my mounts, which were loose and missing bolts
but since I have connections, they replaced them for free instead of charging me another $4oo dollars.
The tranny has a 12k mile/1 year warranty, but the dif doesn't. I told them about the thump from the rear, and they thought it was the mounts, but I felt/heard it again multiple times on my way home. It only happens when I start from a complete stop going uphill into a right turn. WTF?
That and I think the it needs a slight tune-up. It jerks a little since the cams were re-aligned.
Aside from stuff still breaking down, the interior being messy, my trunk being smashed and my amps shorting out, I'm happy all in all.
