Hey y’all. Been a member for a few months- bought an ‘03 in July with 140k on the clock. Car runs well and I’ve taken care of everything that (I think) it needs. Oil change, coolant flush, power steering flush, new steering rack, inner and outer tie rods, strut assemblies, lower control arms/ball joints, sway bar links, new tires and 4x drain and fills for the transmission And last week installed a trans cooler. After poking around on the forums some, I’m terrified at the thought of the transmission failing. Is this a real thing? Or overblown? I’m familiar with forums and how the bad gets posted 20x as much as the good. I’ve put about 11,000mi on it since July. It’s my daily and also our (my wife and I) camp/getaway car. I made a bed for the back, installed an ARB retractable awning and cross bars + roof basket.
Anyway, should I be concerned about my transmission suddenly going? Is this a real concern or have I just worried myself silly over a few (maybe more than a few) posts on here about sudden trans failures that so happen to be around my current mileage?
Thanks!
