I got about 70,000 miles out of the used 5 speed manual transmission I swapped in place of the auto transmission at 206,000 miles on my 1992 9000s.
The 5 speed probably had 130,000+ miles on it when my brother and I put it in.
Did nothing to it...last month it started popping out of second gear at low speed on me and kind of slipping at highway speed - getting progressively worse, then one morning on my way to work WAHM! It imploded and locked up on me, and punched a hole in the case dumping the gearbox oil - I'm glad it was on a city street barely going 5 mph when it let go. Would have been a lot worse if it would have happened while driving at highway speed on I-70.
My brother rebuilt another 5 speed gear box, for me to replace it with.
