If the oil in the transmission has been changed every 20,000 to 30,000km, the transmission should be fine. The five speed on my 83 900T had over 251,000 miles when the car was totalled by an accident. I changed the oil in my 5 spd every 15,000 to 20,000 miles. I used Castrol GTX 10-30w, and from 197,234 miles I used an additive called Militec-1 in the U.S. In France it is called "96" Quatre Vingt-Seis. I hated to see that car go but, it would have cost too much to repair. Ken Washington 87 9000S
