Auto: Draining the AFT from the pan gets out about 35%~40%, the rest is in the torque converter and AFT cooler. Do the drain-refill three times with about one-week's driving in-between does the job. Do a single drain-refill every 10K thereafter is the way to go.
Manual: The flexible hose portion of the clutch line develops a leak between 100K and 150K (it never fails to fail!). The line can be rebuilt by a hydraulic shop for less than 1/2 of the OEM.
I have an 89 900T also, it is generally considered one of the better years.
BTW, I am concluding the sale of my 89 9000T to some one from Boston/NH. The buyer plans to do the same drive, California to New England. I guess he is not the only crazy one.
