If you copy this link in the Templet URL ( https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1172266379806789742/1262037019643613265/TramsOldtimes_v4.5_small.jpg?ex=66952310&is=6693d190&hm=70e4bff561576fc9554bf345a3c4042ccfdde08de3cade34f66ae495f1e0b37a& ) at the cords X: 501 Y: 384 with a Templet width of 66 you can help me in putting it there!

Do note that we only gonna do the Trams and Oldtimers without the Text or background tho. It'll look better without it! Also the original pixel art wasn't made with the colour limit in mind, so we gotta get creative~

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I know its a bit late now, but it did just get extended by 24 hours! And I think a little cooperation with my Tram community could be cute!

Its now official, my OEM Transmission is screwed. It no longer shifts past 2nd gear... if it even gets to second gear that is...

So its time for a new Transmission! From a different vehicle ofcourse. I ain't putting another one of those Doomed and slow OEM ATs in there. Though for various reasons I do wanna stick with an Automatic. Preferably something with 5-6 gears, since 4 is honestly not fit for a car like this.

I'm looking at Legacy and Outback ATs from around the same time period atm, but im curious if perhaps you folks have some recommendations or maybe Tipps for a Transmission Swap?

I did also look down the holes but couldn't find any sound thing in there at all.... What a weird thing for them to leave out

These are both 1988, a friend's Cadillac de Ville and my Trabant 601. The cars available in the USA and East Germany at the time were a bit different.

My SVX got leather Seats which are just unbearably stiff and hard to sit on...

Im wondering if they have been badly maintained or if age just stiffens it up this bad? Perhaps its the filling.... how do you all Deal with this type of stuff?
