My X has got 81000 KM, so far so good with the transmission. Hopefully it can last forever until my X dies. In HK, there is no CPO program or other warranty plan to protect consumer, only 2 years unlimited mileage starting from brand new car purchase. If my transmission fails, I have to pay for replacement, and only re-built transimmion will be replaced. It costs lot of money and I wish it will never come to me.
