... or that the transmission will just fall out, as the engine compartment reduces to a pit of smoke and rust-dust.
Actually, the tranny is a legitimate concern on my car. The engine seems very healthy (knock on wood), but the trans does hard shift here and there, and isn't the picture of perfect function. I have money set aside for a rebuilt transmission should that need arise, but I'm not going to rush the process.
