AUTO transmission life...



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
