My car just hit 192,000 and I've had it since 149k. Hope yours hangs in there but at least you know that you could do what I did if you find yourself in a pinch.

My solution to this was to get a good replacement transfer before the failure and set aside the old one for rebuilding. Big job, but no unacceptable break in my access to my DD.
