What Peer has done (buy a new tranny to keep in reserve) is smart and so
very tempting to do. I believe the tranny is probably the "weakest link'
for our 100++K mile cars (in the sense of potentially terminal "illness").
This is especially true, IMHO, when the extra stress from ECU chipping is
factored into the picture. It would be great to be able to install a cheap,
brand new tranny if the old one goes bad, but of course by then (for most
of us) these will be unavailable.

Except perhaps for one, sitting in Peer's garage.  :-)
