Hi All,

How long does an automatic transmission clutch last..?

My 5 speed automatic tranny been getting a mis-shift lately ..

From 4-5th there is 1-2 sec delay (in neutral) and then abruptly engaging on the 5th.
This happen when accelerating..

I talked to the local dealer service manager, and he mentioned that there is certain diagnose to run to determine if some "value" reading is still within the spec.
This "value" from what I have been told will tell whether the clutch pack is worn and need to be replaced...

I am curious if the auto tranny need some interval clucth service like manual tranny..? I have always under the impression that the auto-tranny normally last 200-300k..

This mis-shifting never happened to me before.

PS: I never track or drag my car.. and it currently has about 82k original miles
