Hi, My trans gov was replaced at 16k miles as it started to act funny. I replaced it and drove it 5k miles since and it has performed perfectly. I was wondering about the failure rates of the auto transmission. I take care of it and have added several magnets inside of the pan for safety. Someone told me I would be lucky to hit 50k miles without rebuilding it. Is this true or just another rumor. I was planning on purchasing amsoil 100% synthetic auto-trans fluid. It is $9/quart but from what I have heard it is worth it. I will bring it to a mechanic and have the system totally flushed and replaced with synthetic. Is there any reason I shouldnt put this in my car? I want the car to treat me well on the way to Memphis and don't want the original fluid(sat 16yrs, before fuel syst rebuilt this summer) in there for such a long trip. (700 miles each way) Thanks David #6286-IN2TIME
