"Problems" with our car
I was just looking on the internet trying to find information about the first generation TLs. I wanted to know the reliablity of our cars since i intend to drive mine(96 2.5,120Kmiles) until the wheel falls off . This is what I found on MSN as being a common problem with our engines.

Yeah if you search thru the forum well you'll see that the EGR cleaning is detailed so that you dont have to spend over $500 just for someone to play with your car, i personally havent experienced it yet but some people have experienced it, if you take care of the car it'll take care of you, did u see my post in the reviews section on msn i read that before i bought my car and posted it when i got mine

hard shifting.
as far as i know it's an extremely common problem that is caused by shot engine mounts and the fact that most people forget to change their tranny fluid before it's too late

Surprisingly the article does not mention cracked exhaust manifolds. That thing is a biatch to pay for. The emissions warranty covers some TLs but doesn't cover all first gen TLs.

Use the car as a race car.
Hit 236,500 on original motor/tranny before spinning a bearing due to a seeping head-gasket from overheating with a broken radiator.
~Cheers~
P.S. Don't expect the tranny to hold up with 250WHP, though, as the torque converter will take a crap.
