HELL NO. I love my SVX too much. Someone would have to offer me A LOT of money in order for me to sell that car....and it's not worth THAT much I looked at the tranny fluid today and it is still nice and pink with (what looks like) tiny tiny TINY metal pieces. And it was leaking oil all over the roll back tow truck, but it's still full This week we are going to jack up the car and see what is going on.

I figured out that it was the fact that the oil was pushing against that rear seal (which probably needs to be replaced) when it was being put on the roll back so that is why it was leaking oil. I haven't gotten a chance to look at the transmission, but looking at the fluid I'm pretty sure the tranny is gone. The metal pieces that I found in the fluid leads me to believe that the tranny is toast. SO I figured out a way to drive the car till it's fixed...
Flintstone style! Most likely it won't be until spring till I (and my brother and friend) get to work on it. So for now I'm waiting for the modified parts from Tom and I'm looking around for a transmission, but I'm not in a hurry. When I do the swap I'll replace seals, put the darn o-ring on, and some other stuff that needs to be done while I'm in there. So wish me luck when the time comes. And, of course if I have any questions I'll ask the great people at the SVX forum.

Bringing back an old thread
It wasn't the transmission. So I thought maybe the ring gear. It wasn't the ring gear...it was the pinion gear. Missing two teeth. Take a look..This is the front differential from the Claret.
Sorry for the blurry pictures. The stupid camera wouldn't focus properly.

"All I want for christmas is my too front teeth" echoes in my head for some reason. Great to see you found the problem...I mean, it sucks there was a problem...but at least its on its way to recovery

The car is alive and doing very well with Tom's (svxfiles) 4.44
Quick pictures I snapped today. YES MY WHEELS ARE STILL ON BACKWARDS. I haven't gotten a chance to fix that yet. I wanted to get it running first. It's great to have her back. I think I need to go mow the grass now.
