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
