Hi Terry,

Thank you for your response.

My reaction to this forum has been more induced by the amount of complaints reported in CEG's forums than by my personal experience. Actually, I love my SVT and IMO the transmission, while far from being the smoothest, is very satisfactory. After driving my son's Porsche for a couple of days, believe me I greatly appreciate the «smoothness» of the SVT's transmission when I drive it again...

What bothers me most is that it seems that we have so many solutions to apparently the same reported MTX-75 problem. And some of these solutions include the stunning multiple replacement of the tranny without an obvious consumer satisfaction.

In fact, I can't believe that these trannies are so bad and I wonder if the reported problems are not in reality a consequence of abuses these cars are not designed to handle. I remember one of your interventions in CEG's old forums about the Mondeo transmissions. In response to a british fellow, you were wondering if the tranny problems on this side of the ocean are not due to our general misuse of the stick.

Thanks again for your response and I always appreciate your contributions to these forums.
