That makes zero sense. They make less so they shouldn't work properly is your answer? What do you consider "decent care"? Keeping them full? Occasionally changing the filter? Is there a checklist for "decent care of automatic transmissions" that I'm unaware of? My bowden cables are properly adjusted. If decent care means not driving a car hard then the trans isn't up to it's task. What do.ypu mean"what you want to do.with them" anyway? Deliver pizza and drive to work? I've never smoked one towing but I wouldn't complain if I did. Not shifting correctly or even consistently has zero to do with how I drive or what I'm doing with the car. . In a car that cost equivalent of over 100,000 dollars today that is absurd. 120 hp in a 3800 lb car it's getting it's neck wrung out just to not get smoked by a trash truck. Don't be silly tj. You are a manual swap guy anyway.
