Little problems
I have a 92 Teal SVX. The car runs like fine tuned clock. However, 2 things are bothering me. 1) The power steering pump builds up a lot of pressure and blows out the fluid from the top?, and when I put the car in Drive, it flares at 40 MPH. If I drive in 3rd, the car seems to drive okay, but it never goes into 4th gear? Any Ideas.
Thanks |

I'd call the flaring a tranny problem and that's certainly not a little one. I think it's time for a swap.

As for the power steering issue does it turn smooth?
I assume the fluid is at the correct level with the engine off? Has the o-ring between the pump and reservoir ever been changed? Finally, welcome to the site!

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, the car steers and turns like a clock. I check out the oring tomorrow. As for the flaring between 3 and 4, my mechanic told me to have the tran looked at. Maybe a slight adjustment or maybe ?????. DOn't want to go there right now.
