Van has about 120K on it - we've never towed with it. Mostly it's around-town miles with the twice-yearly road trip (+/- 2500 miles).

This transmission has about 60 K miles on it. The fluid, too. This summer I fed it a quart of transmission conditioner. I forget the brand; Lucas, I think.

I checked the transmission fluid after it refused to move. It's clear, non-smokey & was on the stick. I stuck a quart in anyway, figuring it couldn't hurt. It didn't help.
