What is the record for 2nd Gen Cl/Tl transmission life?
I want to know who has the longest transmission miles record on their 2nd Cl/TL? I heard that someone had 50,000 miles on one transmission and still running like a champ. Has anyone broke 100,000? 150,000 or 200,000?

there is a guy on the tl side with over 200k. Many have broken the 100k. one other (now a cl owner) had like 170k. Many many more in the 70 and 80 k range

My 2000 TL origonal tranny made it to 164,000 miles. At 165,000 miles I added a tranny cooler and changed the fluid to synthetic. Now I'm at 235K miles and all is well

Made it 115000 miles on my 99TL's 4-speed tranny. Dealer covered parts on new one and I paid labor.

130k on my 99TL 4-speed, and still going. Acts a little funny when car is still cold, but once warmed up, it rides like a charm.
