I can not for the life of me understand why anyone would baulk at investing between $50 (DIY) and $200 (full flush) to improve driveablilty, performance and forestall a $2k plus bill to rebuild a terminal box.

Seriously guys, regular servicing will see a BTR hit at least 400,000klms without trouble - proved many times over the years. Hell, even the stretched XG QAS ambos would get 200k plus, and that was when lugging around over 4 tonnes at speed......

Two things kill BTR boxes, both cheap to rectify -
1. lack of servicing, and
2. heat - fit a trans cooler, a $200 DIY weekend job that will see you get much better life and performance form your BTR, especially if you drive spiritly, tow or just load her up with crap.
