Isn't that a different series/ transmission? I know my engine is indestructible ( i have seen factory cross hatching in mine at 180,000.....), but not sure about the transmission. i have found a couple of used ones online with around 100,000 miles for sale.....but not sure about longevity on these...
I will not be doing this anytime soon unless things go bad (i.e it stops shifting in all gears)....but paying $2500 for a transmission rebuild is just too much, their should be cheaper alternatives...
thanks,
