that's alright, i didn't want to drive backwards anyway

HELP! I lost reverse today. It worked fine, then i pulled up for a three-point turn and had no reverse. It feels just like it's in Neutral. Any ideas? Specifically, is this the first note in the death knell of my tranny? Is this **** contagious? ie, am i likely to start losing my forward gears now? Any help appreciated. Thanks. Marc
on a more positive note, i finally got my Ecutune 1.4 in, and it feels like a different car. This is how this car wanted to be driving all along.

Crack the door open, stick your left foot out. Make like a clam and push like hell!

In all seriousness, now that you have the ECUTune installed, finish the job and install a 5MT. Then you will know what the SVX is capable of feeling like.

Ah yes, the loss of reverse gear. One of the signs of impending DOOM. It's only a matter of time before other gears start to call it quits. Don't plan any long trips.

Impending doom? If the reverse never came back I would say it's already failed.
