These two quotes are kind of contradictory!

Original tranny going strong
Bought 03 TL with 11k and now it has 62k on
the original tranny. Still going strong; if you
are buying one I suggest getting the manufacturer
to throw in the 7yr/100k warranty extension.
All we did was have to ask if it had the original
transmission and they immediately offered the
warranty extension.

Kilos of yayo in
I don't want to get flamed but mine failed like 100 miles after installing the inkjet kit. And the service guy said that it is VERY common for them to fail right after getting the oiljet installed. I was at 77k and I almost wonder if it would have made it longer without the oiljet. It kind of jerked when shiftin but never anything too bad. Went out almost without warning. Oh well crap happens.

Now if you could come up with a DIY to stop it from automatically shifting into 2nd that would be huge.
