Yes, you are likely right. Just not enough of a gain in fuel savings to risk tranny health, especially on a tranny that's working as hard as that one. Eventually, I will find my dream toyota RV, a 22RE manual. Unfortunately, that drivetrain is quite rare. If I come across a 22RE with auto tranny issues, I'd consider buying it if it was cheap enough and convert it to a 5 speed.
