Congrats; you continue to be an inspiration for my high mileage goals. You also support my theory that these cars (and maybe all cars) are made to be driven and that generally less problems pop up when they are regulary exercised!

awesome! congrats wally! Could you post up a picture of the outside of the X? I always see your list of mods, curious to see how great she looks!

Congrats! We're at 105K miles, only 1/3 of the way to your mileage (same tranny and fluid) and we thought we were doing well - that's awesome! Keep us posted! :thumbup:

Cause for celebration
 
Wow unbelievable... we have a 4.4 with 106k running the same trans fluid... I've been debating doing the fluid changed but been also worried about all the talk about the trans failing afterwards. Now that i know you changed yours at 188k, I don't feel so bad changing it at 106k. Thanks for sharing the good news and here's to another 300! If you have some pics to share that would be great.

Or to put it another way: you have already gone to the Moon, camped out, and are now 1/4 of the way back! While most us are not even half-way there....

WOAH. Very cool way to describe that distance.

Hey thanks guys. Here are some pics. Lasting this long is a double edge sword because I really want something faster now but I am also curious how long the X will keep running. It's fun telling people how many miles I have on it.

wow, it looks great!

I'm amazed by the fact that your orig. transmission is still going. I have considered a simple drain and fill, and you've got me leaning towards doing it again.

Thanks for giving us hope! Though I know your 3.0 is likely more reliable than my 4.4!

Which fluid did you use?
