Friday the 13th! Bad luck
My tranny crapped out on a major highway today.
 I managed to get it towed to my grandparents farm. So it will probably sit there for the winter...or at least until I find another tranny. So I'm looking for a tranny to do the 5spd swap or another automatic. I'm kinda not ready to do the swap yet. I was hoping the car would wait till next year. Oh well.. This REALLY has NOT been a good week for me. Things are just going to hell...

Sorry to hear that things aren't going well and I hope they get better.
I'd suggest if your serious about doing the 5/6spd swap that you not bother with replacing the auto trans in it (unless you get one super cheap or have money to burn!) If you can afford to let the car sit for the winter, do it and swap the tranny in the spring.

It might be worth while to get a repair estimate. Good Luck ....Ralph

I hate to hear that...
Ther is a wrecked Legacy here I can get for $300, with a good 4.11 Auto tranny and rear diff in it....which could be swaped into the SVX....

Look at this as an opportunity to move your time table forward and go for the AT to MT swap!

I'm not entirely sure what is going to happen, but most likely I will just do the 5spd swap. I already miss the SVX. I had to drive my dad's tracker to work. That thing takes forever to get up to speed.
 For now, I'll either be driving a Volvo station wagon or the Fiero. But it's going to suck if we get snow. Fiero + snow= nothing good Murphy's Law... I already have two big projects going on with cars..now another one. Who knows..maybe by next year I'll be driving the 300ZX when it's ready

HELL NO. I love my SVX too much. Someone would have to offer me A LOT of money in order for me to sell that car....and it's not worth THAT much I looked at the tranny fluid today and it is still nice and pink with (what looks like) tiny tiny TINY metal pieces. And it was leaking oil all over the roll back tow truck, but it's still full This week we are going to jack up the car and see what is going on.

If you're lucky it will just be a busted line....
