Met a guy today at my work.Has a 91' Dakota.
We were talking about trannies manual vs automatic..
Then i told him i got my tranny serviced at 16,000 miles..
He told me his truck has 130,000+ miles...NEVER HAD THE TRANNY SERVICED!...
now he is having all kinds of slippage,wont get into 1st gear 1/2 the
time..plus,he accidentally slammed it into Reverse once,when he was moving
10 mph..
What's he facing now???
