Good thing they last twice as long...  Oh wait....sometimes they don't. My ZF6 tossed out the springs in the clutch, then the slave cyl failed, and then the clutch fork bent and failed..... and then and finally then the whole trans failed at ~70k. It lost the pocket bearing. I just exchanged it with the HO version thats in the 02-03's($1900). So far so good. I still perfer it for towing vs, 4R100's or the 5R110's. With the US gear OD behind it, it make for a awesome towing machine, Always in the right gear...
If it had a high HP truck with injectors, big oil and turbos, I'd run a 4R100 too, just for the fun factor.
