No Failure. 85000km, 99MY 9-5SW. But I did change my Crank Position Sensor recently, and I would recommend having one on hand as well.
I Carry a spare - just like I used to carry spare distributor caps, fan belts, fuses and lamps in all the cars I have ever had. Tools too! It just makes sense to me, if a spare can get me home in one piece.
As for dying at 85 mph on the highway, that would be just like losing the transmission from a failed gasket... which happened in a 1970 PlymouthFury III north of Quebec City. You just have to fly by the seat of your pants once in a while, eh!
Hey, it's all a question of being prepared, like a good Scout!
Cheers from Toronto,
CrNiFe
