Note- the correct sized bushing helps, I bought ones that are 1mm smaller bore and bigger in all other aspects. Worked pretty well, squeezed 'em on. No play now!!!

Yeah I was thinking about the ECU crush mod as it happens in all gears, but not in neutral. So I don't think its the TPS, but I'll check. I'll do the crush mod tomorrow.

ATF fluid appears to be drips from PS system. Different shades (new tranny, old in the PS resevoir)
Budfreak is helping w/ Sol. A ***THANKS AGAIN***

Waiting for tomorrow night to do Seafoam and change. I am kinda worried about hydrolock, how hazardous is it really?

If you use the small vacuum line on top of the throttle bodies you should be fine. I've never hydrolocked an SVX yet and I've seafoamed about 8 of them now.

hey hexadec where did you end up having your tranny swap done, or did you do it yourself. a 4.44 swap is in my plans when the summer first starts(that is if my slowly dying tranny holds up) and I need to narrow down to where i want to have it done. any info would be great. Thanks , Nick

Half done in my driveway, half at shop (Alltune and Trans.)
Very slow, but good, and quasi-affordable. A bit sketch, but good work.

UPDATE:
ZOMG!!!!!!! The LSD additive is the BEST fix evAr. Added about 2-3oz. And went for a drive. No more than 1 mile later and after some round-abouts at 20 mph, its sooooo much better. 90% better, I'm sure the rest is from the crappy alignment. Hesitation is much decreased, I'm not sure about the Ecu bead as it is too low in the RPM, but I'll try to get to it tomorrow.

List for Sat.:
-Seafoam
-Change Oil
-Change ATF
-Alignment
-ECU bead crush (double check Sol. C wiring)
-Pass. Sway bar bushing

Next Weekend:
-Brakes
-Secret suspension mods (shhhhhhhh!)
