many people get alot of miles out of these motors. little sensors will go out over time, but if you know what it is, its a easy fix. trans will last for a long time to IF you take care of them. dont beat the crap out of the trans, IE dont stab the throttle, get off the gas, then stab it again and leave the trans hunting around for gears. you can mash on it all you want, but dont leave the trans hunting around for gears. i try to roll into it a little bit before i get into it, let the trans downshift a gear first (4th to 3rd, then mash on it and go to 2nd) or let the torque converter unlock first (get off the gas, roll into it a tad to let things catch then hammer down)
but ive been beating the piss out of my trans, so it will last. just make sure it is in decent condition before you get it. there is many ways to mask trans conditions, lucas oil additives and what not. thats why i say drive it around in many diffrent conditions and really feel for it. mine felt fine when i got mine but it blew 3rd gear out 3 days after i got, but they fixed that for free
