Bought this vehicle from a local guy pretty cheap ($1400). I had an inkling I'd be putting some money into it (gonna be throwing a wheel bearing and sway bar link in next week). Didn't figure the transmission was going to go (or is it?). First pull, haven't changed fluid yet (which I am planning to do now obviously). Fluid doesn't smell burnt, but rather sweet. Engine oil analysis was pulled and was a green check mark with no wear indicators. No transmission jerks or problems. This vehicle is NOT my daily driver (in fact it's not even plated yet). Planning to use it this winter for AWD capability. Am I sitting on a ticking time bomb here?
Tell me what you make of this, fellow shadetree tribologists.
