Default Woohoo! I think my second trans is starting its downward spiral.

Starting to get a little occasional rev bounce, and with only 13k miles on it. Now taking bets as to when it fails completely.

Thats crazy man. I've had good luck so far with mine. I feel like I should be scared to drive it someitmes. Can you describe a REV bounce? Gas or no gas?

Fluid and Filter change for me soon... Just over 32k so in the spring it will be time... Along with a cooler, though I expect to be visiting TEP at some point.

Same as last time, cruise set or light throttle, it just goes up 100 RPMs or so. Doesn't always do it, may be a fluke. We'll see, I'm about to put 1k more miles on it this weekend.
