I acquired my 98.5 SVT about 5 months ago, when it had about 29k miles and now it has about 37k miles. I've started noticing the difficulty of getting it into 1st gear and reverse from a dead stop, as others SVT owners have.

Since I'm not that interested in getting 2 or 3 replacement transmissions installed and generally getting the run-around from the dealer (although to this point they have been fairly good to deal with), what precisely should I tell them when I take it in to have the transmission problem looked at?

Many thanks in advance.
