AT in 300 turbodiesels ONLY last about 140,000 miles. I'm on my third AT
(274K miles) in a 1983 300TD but it I am not complaining because the car is
such a joy to drive.
I don't know what's wrong transmissions with some regions of the
country, but 722.3 series transmissions in Pittsburgh usually to give
250+kmi of service. More if the car is primarily highway driven. You can
wreck them sooner if you work at it, and they MAY start to leak (but
still shift fine as long as you kept them topped up) after 15-20 years
of service irrespective of mileage.
