High milage auto gearbox....?

Just got to 115k and made me think whether I was running on borrowed time with the old auto gearbox. Who has done the highest milage with an auto gearbox I wonder? Would be interesting to know.
Probably be writing in soon to say my gearbox is dead because of this post, but hey worth the risk!!

Mines sweet on 117350.

She has,I believe,benefited from using the Lubegard we use Rach.

Yours is obviously to see,a fine example of a 1990 car,youre very lucky.When we met up it was immediately obvious on looking at her that shed been cherished eh?

Nice one!

Keep on slushing!

One yank gone!

As with most things, depends on use and servicing I guess.

Ahem.

Just seen this whilst looking around this forum. My 480 Turbo Auto is now on 136k. The box is as sweet as it was when purchased from a specialist at 100k. The fluid was changed on purchase. Not changed it since.........perhaps I ought to?

Hi Paul!

For longevitys sake I changed mine every 10k OR whenever the fluid had become any colour other than red.

You could help it to run with less friction,so less heat,by using the fabulous Lubegard Transmission Additive.It makes the changes noticeably smoother as well.It will also make the ATF itself last far longer.Its only $9 for 1 US quart bottle.
Oregon Performance Transmissions have it on ebay.com (US site).Brian Carr there will take care of you.Takes 2-3 days max to get to you on cleared payment.
