Mel,
What's the shop in CO that's familiar with SVXes? My personal opinion would be to keep the car and fix the tranny (whichever way you go) because 1. love the car, 2. the cost is relative compared to a replacement car, 3. love the car..... ![]() But I know your money has to be tight and I can truly understand that. Keep your chin up and ask us all however many questions you like, cause that's what we're here for!

Would you keep her???
My fingers are crossed for you!
I only got 12,000 after I bought her. Second tranny however got 80,000 plus. But even without the updates I KNOW SHE NEEDS, I know her past(or can find out) so I have all the confidence that I treat her right...She'll give me many more miles of smiles! ![]() |

Sorry to much of the watering hole apparently...car problems will do that to you if your not careful. Your reply was intended for NikFu S. I'll have to cut and paste (if possible) rookie online and I'm sure I'll screw up more than once so..........
The response to your question regarding Co shop....Don't know the name...Didnt need it cause I'm not there however, It has to be located down around Canyon City, Penrose, area. I was born and raised in Colorado Springs. Not familiar with Clifton but can get you an addy if you'd like. |

It is highly recommended an external cooler be installed in series with the radiator. ![]()

UPDATE:
It's been a little over a week and I put an additive in her (after the flush.) I've driven her 153 miles and not seeing alot of change. This is good, (at least as far as I can tell she's not getting any worse!) I've been bombarded at work at the most opportune time ![]() ![]() Latest from the dealer: "If it was electrical you would be getting a 17 flash code from the dummy lights but we'll put her on the scanner if thats what you want." (Made sence so I haven't gone there). Will keep in touch and appreciate your advice, suggestions, and jokes! *ambush* ![]() Thanks all, |

i dont know how deep you are trying to get
but i would say (its just me) if you are replacing the tranny you should go 5mt or 6mt. a bit more involved and expensive, but you can expect those to far outlast the stock 4EAT should you have that replaced. not to mention, how cool would that be to have a 5spder SVX... pretty damn cool. although it is snappy to just drop the old one out and bring up the new one..... just a couple pennies and i say dont trust that dealer,, i never trust the dealers... they are grimy |
