Re: How long has your transmission lasted?

No that is how many miles is on the car first one lasted 90,000 miles, second one lasted 85,000 miles and I am still using the third one.
When the diff went it made a loud clunking noise which increased with the speed of the car. Pulled over right away and had it towed home. I was hoping it was a bad axle. When I put it on the lift with it in park I spun one front wheel which would normally cause the opposite wheel to spin backwards, which it didn't do so I knew something in the diff was gone. Never took it apart but I am pretty sure it sheared off some of the gears. My AWD didn't work before that so I just changed out the entire transmission.
