how long if taken care well

ok

and neglected

just wondering coz the owner before me looks like a s#!t head and have abused the car but i fixed the whole thign and now its being taken care well, has 135k and bough it when 128k btu the owner before him took good care too has all the paper work form the dealer ship and all

i have an auto - jerky shift between 1st and 2nd but only when the engine is cold. once warm it's smooth. you should've seen the fluid i drained...s.hit was black and sludgy like he put eng oil instead of tranny fluid in there.

how long trannies last depends also where you live. east coast have a shorter lifespan because of a lot of salt in the winter - i've seen one the bell housing with a hole rusted out. but that's just my opinion.

mine's got around 200k and gets driven hard, and will hopefuly last till i get rid of the car.

never mind them i won't have this car till i hit 200k maybe another 2yrs most, but yea i live in the east

There are other 5th gen owners with >200k without issue. If you service the tranny every couple years and don't power-drop it it should last a decent time. 140k on mine and it does pretty good, tho at times it seems to slip a bit between 1st and 2nd which others have said was pretty normal.

Anything over 100k is blessing since most JATCO trannies are designed to function 100,000 shift cycles. It [mileage] all depends on number of shifts per mile driven.

Interstate vs traffic jams and redlights. ATF replacement intervals can prolong the eventual $3,000 expense and are more that cost effective even every 2 years.

I just hit 200K and my rear main seal went out, tranny was shifting hard so I replaced it under warranty anyway.
