Sorry to hear about your transmission. Mine is still on the road according to service records and has 299k at this time.

did you ever get an estimate on how much it would cost to replace the transmission? just curious

@@RedQNZ You want to know a secret?….I parked it and never did anything with it. This was back in 2010. I had a lot going on. Lol.

They are nice rides as long as the rear driveshaft does not snap off and hit the car so hard from the bottom to cause the airbags to deploy. Apparently it happened a few times. My issue was that I found it very wobbly, it likes to lean in corners more than what I am comfortable with. Replaced my Nitro with a VW Touareg to eliminate the leaning. Touareg somehow redefines the rules of physics by being able to go around corners like a hatchback even though it has 8+ inches of ground clearance.
