I have a 98 4.0 with 182k on it. My dad bought it new and for some reason let it go without servicing the transmission! Well over time everyone said don't touch it! Now I own the Rover, and have been noticing lately its a little sluggish down low, and my mileage is sucky, not one to stir a bees nest I still have a nagging urge to service the tranny. Most would say leave'er alone.. but I have a funny feeling she can take it.. its been a stout trouble free truck (EAS aside..). My classic at 125K was acting up, and I had it flushed at a neighboring garage, and less than 100mi later it crapped out (I have a feeling that thdidn't know how to run their "new" machine) Or should I wait until my 4.6 is ready to go in and see what happens? OOOOOOhhh its like wanting to pick a scab.
