I have less than 50K miles on my 1999, but from reading here there doesn't seem to be any real issues with this transmission other than lack of a dipstick or drain plug. Supposedly there is an aftermarket drain pan available that does have a drain plug, but nobody here I think has tried it. It's made by Dorman, which almost everyone here (including myself) hates, but supposedly this pan is OK as long as you add in your own high quality drain plug gasket before using it. I might give it a try if I ever drop the pan to change the filter.
