Amazing...both you for driving ~34k/year and the X for never leaving you stranded!
This whole transmission thing has me wondering, too, since I have 183k on the original trans in my 2002 4.6. Every now and then I think it's starting to "feel funny", but then again it's my only true automatic so I don't know what else it's supposed to feel like. I'm thinking about the fluid change, but know that complete replacement of fluid on an older unit WILL cause problems because it is too clean and there is nothing left behind to "fill the gaps" between the (now worn) gears. Sounds like you have cracked the code to just refresh the fluid, but not a complete changeout.
Without dropping the pan and having to replace gaskets and filters, too, how do you change the fluid such that there is still just enough "gunk" left behind?
