    How many miles on your 3RD GEN! orig. tranny????

    6 months ago in a fit of rage i beat on my 04 with 106k. the next day it started slipping from 2nd to 3rd and of course the flashing OD light. I had it rebuilt for 1,200 with a 12k or 12 month warranty. I'll have to control my temper and take a bit more care of her now.
