I have 185000 miles and the tranny fluid was changed at around 80k 120k and 180k

I have heard if it is done before or around 100k you might have prevented the time bomb. the real problem is when the fluid is NEVER changed.

I had a vibration from my driveshaft under the car at 1600rpm and I always feared it was the tranny going out, however I replaced a cracked rear flex disc and it too the vibration away.

keep us posted on your new beast

My trans fluid has only been changed once to my knowledge (I changed it at ~160k). I have 178k now and no issues. Gotta love German engineering.
