Ok, I decided to travel across country in my 89 gt convertible. My trip was from Las Vegas to Omaha (1400 miles). I got about 750 miles into Denver and my transmission failed. Wouldn't shift past 1st gear. Fast forward a week and 1/2 after a shop rebuild the Trans. Picked it up and drove it 350 miles (Almost to NE Boarder) and it gave out. Stuck in 3rd gear and wouldn't shift up/down. Needless to say it had to be towed back to Denver. I went to Omaha to my destination in a rental. Another week and 1/2 later. I went back to Denver and got the car... Only 600 miles left. well at the 530 mile mark (Outside Lincoln NE) the transmission failed again (3 separate leaks).... The Shop in Denver has finally agreed to pay Certified Transmission in Lincoln to rebuild the Transmission. Am I pushing the transmission to hard driving for such a long distance? Should the AOD transmission be able to handle 750 miles in one drive? Need to get it back to Vegas... But with my luck so far not sure if I should just tow the damn thing.... There was no hot rodding or anything. Kept a pretty constant 70 to 80 mph..
Sorry for the long winded post.
