Same here. 155k of hard wheelhop and severe abuse - transaxle still shifts like it did in 1995. Nothing done but fluid changes and a clutch at 110k.

Yours is a 98+, and that's our point. The later diffs used a different manufacturing process for the diff gears, and they just are not as durable as the early diffs. I'm not sure what the "cutoff date" is. This is all ATTH, of course.
