well looking at the bright side, its all the more reason to do the 5 speed swap.

Start saving your $$$$$ in the long run it will be worth it. Unfortunatly the 4 wheel drive is hard to tell of if works untill you try it.

for sure, tax return is coming so thats a good start.

If you know how the car feels with and without the awd properly working, it's very easy to tell.

[Conn SVX]

Well I never drove one that was NOT working maybe I would realize it was not.

That is true, only after I got the 6-speed in it did I realize the AWD in my 92 pearly didn't work very well. It felt a lot more FWD and you could easily chirp the tires off the line. I think the rear would kick in but it always took a lot longer than it should have. Now that I have the 97 to compare it to I realize how FWD the 92 felt by comparison. On the other hand, the 97 binds just a wee bit.

Yea except more like "You don't know what you didn't have till you have it".

[Conn SVX]

2 things you always do when buying an AWD SVX:

1. figure 8's in a parking lot to see if it binds

2. floor it from a stop sign or light. If she spins you got problems

I must be doing things wrong

[subeman90]

well someone with your advance knowledge doesn't need to do this. This is more of a guideline for the "less advanced" buyers.

just got the title back in the mail.

she is now in my name.

also could disabling ABS effect the AWD ?
