“transmission that is a crap shoot after 150k.”
As opposed to a clutch that has to be replaced every 30,000 miles or earlier for about $1,000 a pop??
I’ll take an automatic transmission with a maintenance interval of 120,000 miles. That’s right: Dodge Rams have a 120,000 maintenance interval as do most transmissions. It’s called synthetic oils and precision engineering and manufacturing. They all work wonders.

Just replaced my Nissan pickup clutch for the first time at 103,000. $680.
I replaced the clutch in my truck at about 210K after the center spun in the disk. It might have been something to do with roasting it while sled pulling. (^; I ran right through a 400HP clutch.
It probably would have lasted 350K otherwise.
A clutch is $400.00. I am driving a Camry with the original clutch and it has 145K/miles on the odo.
