A small concern of mine too as my 9000 is soon to roll is 100,000th mile. Probably worth noting that, AFAIK, the US market only had the 2.3l engine and so there is more torque through the gearbox. Make sure the transmission fluid is a good clear red colour and not brown with a burnt smell. Regular replacement of the transmission fluid and filter can only help - some people flush 2 or 3 times when changing the fluid because only about 1/2 of the fluid can be drained. Doing it a few times means that 75-90% of the fluid gets replaced.
