Transmission troubles ultimately did it in. The first one failed at 165k but the subsequent string of wrecking yard trannys were only good for a few months.
The transmissions in the 86 were only used for a few model years as failures in those years were common.
If I owned a clean 86 I'd keep my eyes open for a good used transmission or invest in the tools and the manuals to do a rebuild. Assuming that the internal parts are still available.
Good Luck...
