I'd have the trans serviced, general maint. stuff, as long as every thing checks out and it drives good you should be ok. Nice Find! | Hey thanks. I thought of most of that except having the transmission flushed and fluid changed. I've found that if you change your transmission fluid and filter about every 50k miles it reduces the incidents of transmission failure by about 90 percent. I very, very rarely see transmission failures where the owner has taken proper care of their transmission. Contrary to popular belief, transmission fluid is not permanent and most certainly breaks down, causing transmission failure. Thanks again for the reminder!!!
