So the tranny shouldn't fail because of that you are saying? I have to drive 70 miles one way twice a week, I was making sure that I "shouldn't" have any problems then. I didn't see any flakes in the tranny fluid when I checked it, the check engine light is on and a couple tranny techs told me to get it scanned first to make sure what is the true problem. Thanks for all the replies and tips everyone, cool forum!
