Re: what now? with transmission
Are you the original owner?
Are you sure that it was maintained properly?
I'm not doubting whether you had the maintenance done on the transmission, what I'm saying is there are thousands of mechanics who can easily screw up a transmission by either their lack of knowledge or simply not caring to do it right.
I have heard too that these tranny's are not the "greatest" - but in my opinion, they are more reliable than the transmissions in fords, dodges, and even some chevy's.
Even with proper maintenance I have seen several relatives bury their tranny's to an early grave in their ford rangers, dodge and ford caravan's.
It's hard to say what I would do, thank goodness I haven't had to come across that, and I hope I don't for another 100K or so.
I agree with you though, it should last to at least 200K or so with proper maintenance and not a lot of heavy hauling or heavy footing off the line.
Good luck, keep us posted. And definitely make sure you can trust the mechanic you choose - so so many times there are mechanical issues on a vehicle due to the mechanic you thought you could trust.
