Yeah, actually I did a good bit of reading on the SVX and was aware going in of the transmission/bearing/brake issues and potential expense. (And I bought it anyway. Never underestimate the power of denial.) Have already replaced the left-rear bearing and now can hear the right-rear muttering. Gear changes are prompt, crisp and quiet, but there does seem to be a hint of slippage -- to judge only by the tach -- under moderate power in fourth. To tell the truth, what I know about automatics wouldn't fill a thimble, and it's been so since I drove one with regularity (and never with OD, nor in a tachometer-equipped car), I don't really know how to expect it to behave, so long as it gets me down the road.
Did I mention that I really, really like this car? dcb |

Never underestimate the power of denial. I like that welcome aboard.
