The transmission was serviced regularly per the maintenance schedule and i kept a good relationship with the dealer servicing my 99 as if any problems arose with the transmission my dealer/service advisor could attest that the transmission was regularly serviced by them. Maybe we were just lucky but we put 110k+ miles on the original transmission without as much as a hiccup.
That's just the problem with these tranny failures. No REAL indication to watch for. Some has had wining / delayed shifting / hard shifting, etc. but no concrete confirmed symptoms to look for.

We got 102K out of ours and after restarting, it ran perfectly for the weekend before the replacement was installed 300 miles later.
