When did you do the partial trans service? Is your driving mostly long highway trips? Congrats and thanks!

I did the partial trans flush at around 188,000 miles. My driving is a split between highway and city. I drive around 100-300 miles per business day. Sometimes its all day in Seattle and other days out on Whidbey Island, or Vancouver BC. Its kinda all over the place. I consider my self very fortunate with this transmission. I can say one thing, when I drive my X I make it give all its got! After all it's only a 3.0 and I really wish it was a 4.8.
