1999 Transmission

I know the trans issue has been beaten to death, but do the 1999 with the 4 speed have the same issues as the 2000-2003 5 speeds ?

no, 99 4 speeds are considerably more reliable.

That's debateable. I'm at 170K and on my third tranny.

I have 140k on my 99. Still works/shifts fine. Change the Tranny fluid every 10,000 miles.
