I wouldn't think it's an issue at all if the fluid is clean, smells fresh and the tranny does everything else as it should.

Is that the one with the claimed $14K factory replacement engine? It should be relatively bend proof now if it's a real factory replacement engine.

Yep. The engine had been replaced with invoice to show. It was done in Arkansas and the owner had the car since 2009. The car drives decent but the interior is neglected, about 7 out of 10. I am interested but the price is a bit steep.

I expect the car to creep forwards if I lift my foot but this car rolls back so I am not sure. It is heavy car but the incline is really not that steep. I believe if it had been in San Francisco then it would be rolling back like a manual car. I do not feel the car trying to creep forwards. I did not pull the dip stick to check the fluid. I am just wonder if there is anything more sinister lurking in the tranny.
