The transmissions typically fair around 200k ish but some don't, along with that they get far less fuel economy.
My recommendation would be
1. Pay $350 for a japanese CVT ECU
(eliminates your transponder in the key and adds lean burn)
2. Be carefull with auto fluid changes and drive gently.
3. The an IMACC&C MIMA or whatever.
Also the grind is not due to the xmsn failing but due to the clockng of teh syncros moving (which could be corrected without parts)
