I sold Eric one that had 185k on it... I haven't heard any problems with it yet.

The only problems I have with it is that the synchros are pretty tired(go figure), there's a minor coast down noise I've always had since I put this tranny/transfer case in, and its a bit hard to shift using a shortened 91-94 shifer with a 90 tranny, which is my fault for getting a 90 tranny in the first place.

On the plus side, it doesn't grind unless you try to shift as fast as Spy does

All in all its not doing too badly for a 13 year, 195,000 mile tranny. No metal in the fluid, and the bell housing hasn't cracked.
