[QUOTE=faranks;857690]I'm not sure if I completely agree with you.

I just rebuilt my ZF5HP24 that had never had an oil/filter change after 10 years and 149,000 miles. It looked beautiful inside and only required 2 o-rings and a bearing to be replaced.

I Only Quote the words of the specialist that replaced mine. He has been in the business for 30 years and I dont think there is anything he doesnt know about auto transmissions.... Every time I've been over to his shop ( 11 bays) he has had BMW's /Landrover with both the GM and ZF boxes in bits.
