T3 autos last 150-200K > from what I understand, the standards over 200K if not abused.. I drive mine > hard but not abusive, and its just getting pretty noisy now at 288K > Transmission mileages before overhaul depend almost entirely on type of motoring. Short journeys with traffic can kill them in well under 100,000 miles, just like brakes, clutches and engines. My previous Type 3 needed a MT gearbox change at about 70,000 miles with no abuse - shaft bearings got very noisy and the shift was imprecise, though it didn't actually stop working. Dave Hall.
