Exclamation Homygosh! 0_0

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.

Something is still buggy. It stalled at a light, and thunked around a bit.

I'm thinking it's having fuel management issues.
Should I check the 02 sensors?
Could the ECU be going bad?
