New to the Forum. Thinking of buying MVIII

well she just had her 60,000 mile b-day. but i got her at 46, and 3 days after i got her i "needed" a new one...i am pritty sure i was scammed out of that. and then 10k mi later, another one. and now its being silly again...if you drive like me( or atleast how i drove in the summer) you could easily understand how i could do that. also that and i think fraud was involved here


BTW, i HATE the mark tranny. iv driven a plethora of cars with diffrent trannies...and id have to say, that i liked...the one on my friends durango the most. if i could or was willing to, this thing would have a t-45/-56 in it faster than you could read this.

There must be something else wrong. Basically because the only other person that I can think of that beats his car worse than I do is Geno. Everyone that gets into my car vows NEVER to do it again unless they are in DIRE need of a ride. I beat that livin hell out of my car. I manually shift it all the time, and I take it to the rev limiter quite often......doing burnouts (too bad I do not have a person that could take a video, or pic of it.....since I do it everytime I get behind the wheel).

So, I think you have another problem, it is not how you drive it. I have a shift kit in the tranny as well from Baumann Engineering set on the highest performance setting. I do not love the tranny, but it becomes VERY lively with the right things done to it. Do the Mercon V flush/fill (empty the torque convertor as well....should take close to 12 quarts if not more considering the lines and the cooler that is in the factory radiator), get the shift kit, and the upgraded springs and the newer pan with the drain plug in it.....and I think you will have different outlook on the tranny.....you may not love it, but you just may have a different position on it. :Beer
