Yeah, I'm waiting for my transmission to fall off too. I wouldn't expecct it to be holding up very well after how I've driven it the past three years on aging lube (up until a flush this year).

If it goes, I smell a swap to manual. No big deal- I think you're stressing out too hard man. I'd be upset but cars always break and they never stay perfect.

Just my thoughts. I'd hate for you to sell your car away like that. It's an awesome car.
