I assume that's 196K with no rebuilds? If so, might be time for a precautionary rebuild, especially if its your daily driver. I'm not a tranny expert, but I've heard on this forum and other places that these transmissions tend to start screwing up around this mileage. Apparently the typical failure is the loss of reverse. I had mine fully rebuilt when it started leaking at 150K, no problems since, and 237K presently on it. Cost was $1800 maybe, and well worth it.
