Mine died a natural death at 172,000 miles. I replaced it with a reman tranny from Autosport Unlimited - Kirt Koeller and crew sent it to me. My mechanic installed it and sent them back my donor tranny. It was a great experience. - If you need a tranny slushbox - this is a good way to go. They are the ZF Authorized Rebuild shop for North America. - JT
