Dunno about Other problems re 9000 trans axle Failures.. But My Saab indie has a constant supply of 9K transaxles 'Onna Shelf' awaiting Rebuild.
These reange from 86's to aeros.. seems age/model are essentiaal the same failure wise. THE failure Mode(according to him) are the Bearings.. Input shaft brgs fail soon and with disasterous result.. on almost ALL trans failures since the 9k model was intoduced.. other failure mode (on the 'newer' cars) is the 'circlip' problem, but he claims it's additional to the 'garbage bearing' problem. When Asked about Diff related failures he sez 'it happens' but is not overly common.
Recently rebuilt Son's 87 was 'interesting' , my Saab indy was very helpfull as special tools really are needed... Interestingly the Design is Virtually Identical to a late '80's Accord.. yes it's true.
If yours has done such Hi Mileage.. Great.
Yer either Lucky or are doing something exceptionally 'right'
