So I guess I won't beat the record...
...for longest-living original transmission.
Since it's the weekend, and my SVX is my 'weekend car,' I figured I'd drive it today. I had some work to do today at the office, so I had a good excuse. I didn't get far before the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts started flaring badly. So I drove it home, parked it and thanked it for getting me to and from Lafayette safely and without any problems. I can't afford to fix it right now, so I don't know when I'll be able to drive it again...

Sorry to hear about the tranny. It led a long life.
Looks like you'll have to update your signature now. Looks like your Justy may be feeling a little neglected. Time to cheer it up.

Nick,
You know I can empathize. Keep the ol' chin up. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. When you do get it fixed, you'll be able to have the SVX-perience all over again. Best of luck (and I'm happy you, at least, made it to Lafayette and back).

This tranny failure is no doubt due to our excellent reliability comments several days ago.
I'm gonna just let mine sit in the garage for a while... |

It isn't dead yet!!!
What you got there is a perfect tow vehicle! Tow it around on the back of an RV for another 100k and you'll hold the record for life!!!!!!!

Same kinda thing happened to me Nick!
Got home trouble-free, but yesterday my AC died. It's as if our cars knew what had to happen for them to make it to the meet. The meet anti-monster???
Sorry to hear about your trans failure. Todd

I washed mine, and I am going to let them set for a while so they can settle down. Of course it rained last night and I had not put them back into the garage, so they are all wet again.
I'm sorry to hear about your tranny. At least it got you back home and not left stranded along the way someplace. That might have cost you the price of the repair just to get it back home. Good luck with the repair.

So, who holds the longest leading original tranny that is going strong?
I have a 92 with 148k that is stronger, smoother than my 94 with a rebuilt. Lwin

Darn
Sorry to hear about your bad luck Nick. Many of us must sweat bullets wondering when the dreaded "slipping" will begin. You may recall that my 92 is out of commission too until I raise the cash for some repairs. At least you got to drive yours to the big meet!
Like Lwin, I wonder who has the record for original tranny miles? Don |
