I have a 09 Corolla with 171k miles and a dead transmission. The shop is putting in a used one with 73k miles on it, and are giving me a 12k mile, 1 year warranty on the replacement, which I thought was nice. The owner must feel good about this unit, since the yard he got it from only offered him 6 months and he extended it for me.
My question for BITOG is, is there anything different I should do in maintenance for this new transmission, or just stick to the OM for fluid service intervals? I'll be asking what fluid the shop filled it with and will likely be sticking with that. I would just love it if I could put 171k miles on this transmission too, so I may be overthinking this a bit.
The initial failure was a stuck manual valve and the mechanic said it only got worse after they took the valve body off, which I believe is why they are just replacing the whole unit. As always, thanks in advance for your insight.
