blow it up, or be nice?

We have a 2001 TLP with 53,000 miles and showing no signs of a transmission problem. After reading so many posts on this subject, it makes wonder if I should blow the trannie up on purpose and then be very carefull with the second transmission. I have not be overly kind to this one so far (3 fluid changes along the way) couple nights of drag racing at Portland International Raceway and a few track days as well.

if u haven't had it recalled yet, jus drive as u normally do and wait for it to die on its own. then ask dealer to recall it.

If it aint broken, don't break it either! You may get a POS rebuilt unit and be repalcing every 10K or less!
