4runner transmission - update

172,000 miles

snider transmission fixed her up. they installed a rebuild tranny with 24 months / 24,000 miles warranty. after spending nearly $3,300 to them, she is running great now. one great thing about snider was that they let you rent a car from enterprise free of charge. i only needed it one day, but that was very convenient.

i am going to check the fuel mileage on her with new transmission. i hope it is better than what i used to get. during last year's ski trip, the lowest i got was 17 mpg and the highest was 23 mpg. so the average is around 20.

i believe in 2003 or 2004, we had ford windstar's transmission replaced. it had about 98,000 miles on that. the ford dealer installed it for about $3000 with 3 year/36,000 miles warranty. so compared to that, i think it was a bit more expensive. i hope this tranny is going to last us another 100,000 miles. (fingers crossed)
