Mad as Hell!
Just got off the phone with the tranny shop. Their suspicions that a blown gasket in the valve body was causing my troubles were wrong. After pulling the VB and taking all day yesterday to rebuild the gaskets, they've put the VB back on and found that it didn't change anything -- there's still a pressure loss. "Call back around 5" was their response.
Meanwhile, I'm going to end up owning this effing rental car and be without my SVX for God knows how long . . . again. It's beginning to look like my car's sitting in the shop until the day I have to leave for Reading isn't outside the realm of possibility -- If I let them continue. I'm walking away from this site right now. I'm changing the wallpaper on my computer from that of the SVX World Network Logo, I'm changing the SVX World Network Logo wallpaper on my PDA and I'm disabling my screensaver that presents a slide show of all my prior meets. I just don't want to see or think SVX right now. I'm highly pissed. I may check back later today on the forums, but, again, I may not. I'm frustrated.

Do what I am going to do. Sell the SVX and get a newer (97) or something else. Sometimes, you might just have to walk away before going crazy and killing people.

Perhaps I should just move to a new location that has some knowledgeabe and capable SVX mechanics.

Randy,
What is it about your car and Meets? In order to save you car and sanity, I suggest that we move the 10th Anniv. SVX Meet to your back yard. Seriously, I'm actually going to light candles and pray to St. Jude. He is known as the 'St. of the Impossible'. If anyone can help fix your tranny, he can. Good Luck. If you need anything call me. Larry (keepimg fingers crossed)iii |

Lwin ps. I was out yesterday night and I saw another 94 red at the restaurant. It was great to see another one there. Amazing. But the more I see a 325 or 318, the more I want it at this time.

Anyhoo, I hope they are actually able to fix it this time. It does indeed look like they'll be working on it 'til the Reading Meet comes up, though. I'd be pissed too.

The only thing that keeps me from regretting this whole freakin' mess, is that these guys humped to get my first tranny (the lovely Legacy tranny) rebuilt in time for me to make the VT and Snowshoe I meets. And that has made it ALL worth it.

Now that's the Randy we all know and Love! Besides, when you are getting you tranny rebuilt for the 9th, 10th, and 11th times, then you can *****. Until then, its just an expensive inconvenience... Doug
