4.44's coming soon
Well, As usual the SVX strikes again. Halfshaft 3 weeks ago, MAF died the day after I fixed the halfshaft, And now my tranny is on it's way out. It started a weird whirring noise today that is coming from my torque converter when in park or neutral. When you shut off the car you can hear the torque converter spin down so to speak. In gear it sounds completely normal. When cold, the tranny drops down to 4th gear at like 10 MPH and won't drop down unless I boot it and stalls the car when you come to a stop. But when warm it works perfectly normal. So, I called Svxfiles and I'll probally be getting 4.44's installed as soon as this tranny dies. I can't wait to join the 4.44 club.

Another one for me as well
Will be looking to be a part of the 4.44 club as soon as I can wrangle the money. I lost something to my all-wheel-drive about 4 weeks ago. Been drving around with the FWD fuze in place to prevent terrible noise. Oh well, it will help my track times..
Soon to be on the 4th tranny.

Are you doing the swap at Svxfiles' place in WV? If so, I should definitely be able to lend two hands to the effort! You'll see what I mean, 4.44's are the best bang-for-your-buck! You'll drop at least 0.5 seconds in your 1/4 mile et... -Chike

How is your car otherwise? Do you drive around in '3' or 'D'? Manual or normal? Engine starts fine?

And so we move one step closer. I found the tranny and diff. for 300 bucks. That leaves money for exhaust work and a few other little things. A new beast is in the midst of creation in the SVX world.
