How Many More Miles Should I Expect From Ssei Trannsmission

I've had this 2002 Ssei since it had 50,000 miles. It now has 180,000 miles on it. It gets driven very, very easy (it's my wife's car). I figure at this point in time, it's a "crap shoot", but what would be all of your best estimates as to when the tranny will go?

Like you said, it's a crap shoot. Drive it nice, keep clean fluid and a good filter in it and it could go for a long time yet, or it could go in the next 5k miles. Wouldn't hurt to sock some money away as a "transmission fund". The engine should last a long time yet.

I put a Jasper re manufactured engine in it about 4 years ago. It only has about 70k on it.

Then it should definitely last a long time, lol.

I hope so. I want to keep the car for at least another 6 years. At that rate, the car will have about 270,000 miles on it. I just don't see a tranny lasting that long. But who knows. If it's anything like my 92 SE, the passenger compartment was disintegrating. Particularly the plastic. I think that's the price you pay when you don't keep it garaged.

When I had my 2000, I used it as a fire response vehicle. Before I got it, my dad used it as a commuter from West Michigan to Wisconsin. It currently has 285,XXX miles on it. Runs and shifts like new.
