I never had the tranny serviced. Change the oil every 6K and have never put anything in it other than Mobil One Synthetic 10/30.
I did have to have the alternator replaced this week, but that was most likely the result of driving through the flooded streets here last week after Tropical Storm Fay came through. I think water somehow seeped inside, becuase it started making a high pitched whine right afterwards. Took it to my indy mechanic and he knew the issue within two minutes. Today, its back on the road and running like a charm.
I also recieved my 250,000 km grille badge today
