Since I'm running on a Tranny that's had SMOD [Caught early ? and external cooler added] I was wondering would a later year S model tranny be interchangable ? Mine's an 05 S . The Auto shop I use has seen this problem over the year's and they said It could last 4 day's-4 month's or over 4 year's .They have one customer who's still going after 5 year's but they said once it happen's, eventually the tranny will fail. I stop in a local junkyard once in a while but the occasional 2nd gen I see are usually really totaled or the carcass is picked clean; by X buzzard's I guess. I'm just not sure if gearing stayed the same thru the year's for the S model's or did they offer diff gearing on that model ? I'm curious in case I run across one. I would guess it's a third cheaper then a rebuild ? .My tranny has been working okay for over a year with the same occasional slip or buck when it shift's but it has me a little leary about taking it to an offroad event that's not close . Thanx again for the use of your knowledge ;)
