I really don't know but 40k's nothing. We have a 2002 Millenia with 94k on it and the transmission is fine.

You must be talking about automatics... You can have a shop install a heavy duty tranny cooler and do the recommended transmission fluid change. Funny thing is that most people get the fluid changed only AFTER they transmission acts up, by then it's too late

Depends on how you drive your vehicles. If you treat them rough they aren't going to last long. If you have them serviced on schedule then they vehicle will last for many years without any major problems.

40 is nothing,you should service it every 30,000 and you should be fine till 120,000 or so
