Same here.. I'm at around 165k without any issues. Did a pan drop and filter change at roughly 110k. And I still beat on the car every now on then..

On a side note, I went to get the tran fluid changed on my wifes caravan with 108K.. and was planning for only a pan drop/filter change and new fluid (not a flush) when the guy at the autoshop said they don't do that anymore as it is not best practice. A seperate trans shop said pretty much the same. If it's working fine and the fluid is fine, don't bother with it.

I'm still here.. I have always been more of a lurker than a poster..

Since getting the bike and another car for daily driving the car still sits with 217k and still all original drivetrain.. I did throw a little lucas oil in the tranny and it seems to have brought a little bit of life back into the shifts..

I think once I get the funds for the built tranny, I'll give it one last hoorah at the local track and see if it make it home under it's own power..
