There's a thread somewhere around here about some dude who has 220,000+ miles on a GXP with the original tranny.

I've got 96,000km on mine.. No fluid/filter change or anything... Maybe I should do that...

Are the ZZP aluminum slotted pans good for a decent temp drop?

48K on mine, noticed the temp goes up quicker now more than it did about 2K miles ago, so I think its time for a fluid filter change.

I have 37,000 on my Imp SS and it shifts perfect. I am about to change the filter and fluid and install a transgo shift kit. We will see how it goes.

115000 km here, aluminum pan didn't do much for me. Change my fluid every summer, no problems here so far, quite often my temps get over 210 deg on a hot day.

I've noticed a lot of people tend to say "I think my tranny is going out" or "My tranny is shuttering a bit, it doesn't have much time left."

I thought that for awhile too, turned out it was DOD. I have 70,000 miles on my original trans. I have a trans cooler installed. When I got diablew tuned and the DOD was shut off, that 'transmission shutter' disappeared as it was just the car switching from 4-cyl to 8-cyl.

I recommend turning off DOD somehow and see if you still feel that shutter.

I installed a trans-cooler and plan on doing a shift kit sometime in the near future to keep my trans going.

Now I'm going to go beat a few trees to death as I don't want to jynx anything.
