RE: Do You Drive a 1990 200T?

[Peter Tracy <pgt@novelmail.keps.com>]

FWIW:

I have a 1990 200T with automatic and 91K miles. I have had NO problems with 
my transmission. I got the car at 40K miles and had the transmission 
fluid/filter changed at 60K and 90K miles. I even pull a motor boat with it 
during the summer.
