Yeah, my boss talks about the days when we had a whole wall with transmissions lined up against it. Long time ago- of course, I never would have bought mine without the lifetime service contract. Nowadays the biggest transmission complaint we get is rough shifting from folks who didn't realize that hitting the "Econ" button would actually change something.
