death of my svx?

[karmaken]

My beloved SVX which I purchased new in 94, has expired, or so I think.

I started to notice some slippage in my higher gears. Then 4th was really taking a long time to engage and then 3rd started down the same road. I was commuting on a daily basis and couldn't give her a rest.

The end result, I lost 4th gear. I have since purchase a new used 04 Gran Marquis as my commuter. I wanted something that I could survive a head on crash in. I just lost my brother to an accident earlier this year where he lost the battle with a Mercedes.

My 94 SVX is a front wheel drive unit with 122,000 miles. My question is, what would the cost be to get the tranny rebuilt? Could I find a replacement tranny? Since it is a front wheel drive and most units were all wheel drive, will this make it harder to replace the tranny?

I don't want to lose my membership to the SVX club but I have to be financially realistic as to my continued ownership of my SVX or do I part her out, I don't know at this point.

bummed,
