We have been running a good 2004R ($2500.00) behind a healthy Oldsmobile motor. Just hurt the trans for the 3rd time in two years. The car is driven on the street about 8,000 per year and 5-10 passes down the 1/4 mile. I really can't take this much more. What is the real world info on these transmissions. Just checked the fluid and it smells burnt so I'm sure the clutches are gone again????? I really need something that works. How about a TH400. We don't drive very long distances.
