Finally picked up my 96 SVX. Temp gauge moves around a little.

There is a little road noise which I think might be the tires or it could be a wheel bearing. Not unexpected. Brakes seem solid. Once warm, tranny shifts almost imperceptibly. Pretty good news all around.

One thing I noticed when driving in hilly country (in 3rd on the climbs!) was that the temperature gauge moved a little. When climbing a hill it went up to around where the little thermometer bulb would be on the gauge decal. That's about 40-45% up. When going down the hill in 4th it would drop a little to about where the wavy water part of the decal is. I would say that's about 35-40% up. It doesn't move much but you can notice it moved. Is this normal or is it a sign that something needs to be checked or replaced? The outside temp was mid-70s.
