You said: " Someone told me I would be lucky to hit 50k miles without rebuilding it. Is this true or just another rumor." Not so; both the automatic and manual transmissions have extremely low failure rates with the exception of the governor computer. Our failure rate data base stops at 150k miles and up to that point the failure rate is just as low as 25k miles.
