Maybe I need to think this over some more. The fine 5 speed that held up to 180k with the HO quad 4 was made in Muncie. The much less friendly one in the Cavalier is a Getrag.quote:

I have always stuck to the factory schedules and never had much trouble keeping a domestic 10 years and over 150 K. If I had a Honda, I would be due a timing belt change.quote:

Toyota says at 100k change it. It had so much metal in the oil that a magnet held on the side of a clear bottle you could see the movement of the metal in the oil.![]()
And the car is 10 months old and spends 90% of it's life on the freeway in 5th gear..(never been on a dirt road either)![]()
With my 2000 Silverado 5 speed transmission it came out @ 24k miles and was a little cleaner, but needed to be changed.
I'd change it if I was you. Cheap insurance IMO..
Take care, Bill![]()
