175k is one clue. ;-). The 2.0L aren't as hard on the tranny as the 2.3L from what I hear. The tranny should shift crisp but not hard. The fluid should not smell burnt. What is yours doing? Sometimes they improve with a fluid change and filter. My dad's had the pan removed and some metal bits removed that were laying in the pan. It has been fine ever since, though. That was 4 years ago or more. KeithG MarkC wrote: > I just bought an '87 9000S with 125K.
