Wish I'd have known that before my Jetta transmission died at 130K. Ugh. Aamco's "dirty little secret." :)My '71 has over 200K on the automatic trans. But the fluid gets changed every 30K miles. The wifes KIA with 100K drive train warranty, requires that the fluid gets changed every 30K. And the dealer tells you that the 30K maintenance will cost almost $500. They change all fluids, in a 4 wheel drive. --
I have a Hyundai and it is the same story. One service (I think it was 90000 km) was wildly expensive, also because all the fluids get changed, as well as the timing belt and other stuff. Koreans obviously still believe in maintenance.
