Thanks for the summary!



About what I thought; a 10-yr-old automatic transmission is old, might be OK, but at this point "might" is not good enough. I'm breaking the bank and going with the utterly boring, utterly reliable, perfectly-fitting-first-time, 904 rebuilt.

With a good cooler, proper maintenance etc I can leave the new
trans in the car for 10 - 20 years. That's $75/year worst case.
Good enough for me.

Thanks!!

Tom - go to www.car-parts.com and
find yourself a JEEP 999 from a late
model wrangler - stick that in and be
done with it.

I've become wary of interchanges outside my area of personal experience; I just don't have the data nor experience to know what fits, nor the time or money to try-and-see with big parts like transmissions.

I know I sound stupid, but I honestly don't know what "late model
wrangler" means. Can you give an example year?  New enough to have
"low" mileage, say 50,000 or less, means it's got to be < 10 years
old. That's 1995. Aren't those riddled with computers and smog
interlocks and lockup converters that want interface to other
systems?  If it's old enough to be non-electronic, eg. 1980's,

then it's likely got a lot of miles.
