    Ever had a engine or Transmission failure?

    Yes. A 66 Chevy 6 cyl broke a ring on #1 cyl and replaced the short block at 70K miles. Also a 77 Chevy 305 trans (the metric 2 speed) as it started slipping at about 8K on the car. As it was still under warranty a local Chevy dealer rebuilt the trans.
