OK, I realize that many folks here have many many more miles than we do. However, after 23 years and 10 months after buying the car brand new, we've hit a milestone. Still original engine and tranny (knock on wood), still a daily driver.

Keep going. Let me know when you cross the 293k barrier. That is when my black base's engine decided to start knocking.
The Z is up to 237k now.
But congratulations! Another has made it to the 200k club!

Sweet! I'm at 275k but I wish I could say it was on the original engine. Naw I don't, I love having fun in my car =)! Trans is slowly dying though!

Go Mike! I need to get mine to the point where she can handle a beating again. I hate driving like a grandma all the time.

I hope you have changed your tranny fluid and filter every 40,000 miles

It doesn't matter how often you change the fluid on a 4t60e, it doesn't harden the non hardened parts inside it to prevent them from failing, only replacing those will fix the impending failure.

4T60E, and impending failure....
You could make a country song out of that, right??
