To the guy who lost his tranny sucks man hope it all works out. You should flush the trans fluid every 30k, not 50k by the way.
Secondly with that above comment that one guy JohnHoward I believe it is has 163,000 on the his ORIGINAL tranny, these things are pretty reliable if you ask me.
Read carefully (more slowly) and you'll see I didn't say they were absolute PsOS. They are just known to be less than bullet proof. Another clue for you would be the fact that I indicated he got a bad apple, which by inferrence would suggest that the reliability is generally better than what he has experienced.
If you need further clarification let me know, I'll use smaller words.
