SC400 avg. transmission lifespan

Mine failed utterly - absolutely complete failure of all clutch packs in every shift position at 154k miles - 1993 SC400. Dealer serviced on single owner until 107k miles.... when I bought the car as the second owner.
It's a crap shoot - I just got unlucky. Seems like the average is in the 180 range though.

These transmissions with proper care should last over 500k miles as I have personally seen it happen as they are freakishly reliable with PROPER care

More than likely someone along the line filled it with non oem type t-iv fluid which will shorthen the life by about 75% and this is the #1 cause of transmission failure in the sc400 and tt supras and the fact is little known.
