i was wondering if it is bad for the car to put the FWD fuse in and run it just like that???

I've read that the flow path inside the transmission is changed when the fuse is 'in' and can result in no oil going to lube certain parts. It's only meant for short durations, such as emissions testing, etc.

fwd Fuse
Before I knew better, I drove the car about 550 Freeway miles with the fuse in. When I learned that there was a fuse, I was worried the prev owner had put it in to mask a problem. I took it out and prayed to the SVX Gods. 5000 miles later the rear end is quiet and the tranny shifts like new. For what it is worth....

Randy drove his SVX with a Legacy tranny in for a couple thousand miles with the FWD fuse in...for what it's worth, the tranny still worked fine at the end...

hopefully i'll be able to afford a 5 speed soon. Hopefully the drivetrain holds out that long.
