This should come as no surprise... At about 66K the tranny is done. Similar to someone else's post I read on here before. Put it in drive, or reverse for that matter, and it'll take me about 15 feet before it behaves the same as if it were in neutral. I bought it used from a Chrysler dealership (trade in I assume), so when I bought it I got the DiamlerChrysler 3 yr warranty (covers any domestic they sell used like Ford/GM) but it carries a $100 Deductible, so basically if you bring it in for a bad wheel bearing, $100.... need a new engine? $100. Anyway, Since I bought it 12 DAYS AGO, I'm thinking I might b*tch until they waive the deductible.... I know it's only $100, but still... 12 days?!

06 I finally beat you - 71K.
These trannys remind me of the TH200's in the 80's they put behind the MCSS and Grand National - they were good enough unless you abused the car.
I don't do any burn outs and accelerate usually with 1/2 throttle.

TML, what kind of rims are those? do you have any pics of them, sorry for the threadjack. I think I'm gonna nip my tranny in the butt before it goes, better input shaft, 1" chain drive and upgraded 4th great clutch shaft. It'd be about 800 bucks but it would be nearly bullet proof after that.
