Life of original transmission = 105,000
Life of second transmission = 50,000
Life of third transmission = 37,000 and counting
That third transmission was probably before the revised parts of 2005, and therefore when this third transmission dies you will probably be paying out of pocket.

This oil consumption business is completely ridiculous...LOOK there is no problem with the engine burning a reasonable amount of oil. Some engines are designed to burn some oil to lubricate parts of the engine...others aren't but that's really not the point here.
As long as the engine isn't smoking or burning a ridiculous amount of oil, it is OK. Oil consumption is simply an inconvenience...

Does the synthetic fluid/tranny cooler really make that big of a difference? What are my chances of still being honored for a replacement if it were to go within the next 10k or so?
