I too was told that I should see a psychiatrist. Well, it wasn't about talking to my car, but, I was told I needed to. I think some people are just jealous because the voices chose me.

embarrassing story
I talk to the Duck all the time. My dear friend who recommended looking at the SVX's when I was car shopping dubbed her that when I described how it handled in the pouring rain on the freeway. Every time I look at the car I fall in love all over again.
Right now I am without the Duck while the transmission is being replaced. I've never had occasion to research much about the car. I guess I'd better start; this transmission episode is the story from beyond. A mechanic told me that the transmissions for 92-94 and 96-97 are interchangeable but the '95 is like the Highlander (there can be but one). If I'm going to continue to own the Duck it's time to learn how to care for the exotic orphan since the dealer didn't; he ordered the wrong year transmission and actually installed it and test drove it. Hopefully, he'll get it right this time. I know nothing about cars except like art I know what I like. I'm going now. Must cry. Thanks for listening. |

Welcome to the Network. Most of us have been there. We all experience the love/hate relationship this car embodies. Luckily, it's mostly love. If I recall correctly, the 96 and 97 trannies will not interchange with the 92. They have a whole different wiring configuration. I may be wrong. Will someone else confirm? Meanwhile, enjoy your time here. Ask anything, and you'll get an educated answer. We're all in this together. Perchance, "Duck" wouldn't be Teal in color, would it?

Bordeaux. But teal is good for the name. I should have thought of that.
And yes, if I followed correctly (but didn't write clearly), the 92-94 play with each other only and not with the 96-97 who play with each other only. I read at another site that since the transmission has to be replaced I should have them flush out the radiator heat sink and replace the cooling lines. And to use a synthetic transmission fluid. Good advice? |

The 96 & 97 tranny housings also have slightly different mounting bolt positions than the 92. They are not interchangeable.

I heard they were also going to go after GEICO for the gekko, until the duck beaked it to death...
