Re: Calling all high mileage cars!!!

my car now has 127000.


putting a shift kit and a trans cooler. will (BASICALLY) make your transmission last forever.


i first bought it.

tranny was BLACK BLACK< like the fluid looked like tar.




i flushed it filled it and flushed it again and put the shift kit in and the trans cooler.


i had the car wide open doing about 150 all the way from nashville to murfeesburo tenn. about 45 min drive.


and the fluid is still that beautiful red =]


not to mention.


I NEVER drive in overdrive.


i shift it juuuust like a manual with the 123D

not had any problems =]

rear end is about to take a crapper./


its all lose and the pinion gear and the ring gear are completely slop.


bearing are a thing of the past,.

there arent even any left haha.



other than that.


car is doing great =]
