Who has the highest miles w/ original tranny? Just wonderin...

adam
98 gtp
111000 miles and still goin strong...

I think Marc.

126,300 P'CHOP

Not really a huge mileage as far as you gents are concerned but my baby (2000 White GTP Coupe) is quickly approaching the 100,000 kilometre mark...That's only around 60,000 miles, but since it's a jump to one more digit, it's a nice little milestone for us Canucks!

PS Oh yeah, original tranny of course!

As BryantGTP suggested, I don't know if I have the highest miles with an original tranny, but I'm up there.

I'm currently at 181K miles and still on the original tranny and engine. She isn't as quick as she use to be and her MPG has dipped a little, but otherwise is still running pretty good. I'm hoping to make it to at least 200K before I replace her.

Marc

Uh...I'm no where close with my 53k on my 98 GTP

Just went over 62k on my 98 damn I hate cross country drives I put on a little over 7k in the last month

i think its around 113,000 on her, but leaking oil like a champ after giving it fresh lube. probably going to have it looked at.

looks like it's coming from the valve covers and the oil pan gasket. i think it's more the valve cover gaskets though, cause it you can see it running down the block. i hope the valve covers will be the answer, because i don't think it's real easy to change the pan gasket without doing something with the engine.

the tranny still runs good though i guess, just need to have the filter and oil changed in it. that'll be another project when it's nice in charlotte.

HOW did you get 181K miles on your car in such a (relatively) short time. Mine's a 98 and it has 91K miles on it, and that's more than it should have.

Ride on.

That's about 30k per year. I have 13k after 5.5 months. That's almost on par with Marc. I live in the sticks. I don't usually drive less than 60 miles whenever I get in my car.

I drive a lot! I've made two round trips to San Antonio, two round trips to Kansas City, at least 16 round trips to Asheville, NC (900 miles a trip), a handful of trips to Upstate NY, plus I drive 60 miles round trip to work every day. Not to mention a bazillion little side trips every year. I average 30K miles a year pretty easily. I'm just a drivin' fool!!

Marc

He's a fool. A drivin' fool!

I have a little over 105k miles on my 98 GTP. It helps when you live 40+ miles from work. If I was driving my Grand Am to work, I'd probably bitch and moan about the commute, but I actually enjoy the drive with the GTP. Like Marc said, I'm hoping to get 200k miles on it before I replace it. The thing I'm wondering tho, is if its normal that I haven't replaced my rear brakes yet? I already replaced the fronts like 3 times, but the rears still look like they have some life left in em'.

I'm glad to hear you've all had good luck with your GTP's... mine's an 02 with 30,000 miles and the only problem is that my fog light burned out.

I love this car and I hope it lasts as long as yours has

NOT ALL GP's are GTP's P"CHOP

i have 62k on eng and trans.went to dealer to change fluid n fiter 4 trans.
happy to say no problems b4 n no problems after.

my tranny is at 95k, and doing well. But the first thing that has gone wrong on my 98 GTP is the fog light burned out. 5 years with no major problems. I am very happy with this thing.

87k and counting

141,000 And still runnin strong as ever. I did just change my tranny fluid and filter 1999 GP GT Coupe

I have a 99 GT w/162,000 haven't replaced rear brakes but had to spring for a new mass air flow sensor, and driver side hub assembly.

Sounds pretty normal especially(sp)if your doing alot of highway driving. The rears only do some hard clamping when you have to mash on the pedal to get the car to stop. If your easy on the brakes then the fronts do most of the work.

currently at 78,503. but i will pass y,all this year. i work out of my grand prix. it is my office.i will do 74,000 miles this year alone.keep you posted or check in any time.

heh my 02 tranny hasnt had a single prob... of course it only has 25k miles on it

I think i might have that driving fool problem i bought my car in september and it had 14k on it

191,000+

Yep, Marc has racked on the miles alright ... but his car is still MINT!

Considering it was one of the first off the line, you could not believe the shine that car still has.

Makes my Y2000 look like a bad case of car abuse!

i got a 2000 grand prix se with 275 k on it and it still runs like new lots of highway k

is that the original transmission, or have you had 2 or 3,

That comes out to what... about 171K miles? That a good amount too. Especially for being up in Canada.

Marc

yep never had to put a part on the car yet but oil and tires and breaks it was my fathers car i got it from him for 6000 cnd a year ago

What do you guys think about synthetic tranny fluids? I've heard differing opinions on them...

I have 183K miles on my original tranny and have using Redline synthetic in its since 40K miles. It's worked well for me and I'm sticking with it.

Marc

There are very differing opinions on sythetic tranny fluid. It's a really strange topic. I've used Mobil 1 synthetic ATF for all of my cars and never had a problem. People claim that synthetic makes the trannys slip and go with standard fluid, but I don't see anything like that in my car.

i hit the 260k i'm gonna change the trans filter this weekend

my 2001 SE has 38,000 miles. waiting for spring to have a tranny flush. No probs to date.

Some advice; change trans fluid and filter every 30-40,000 miles, and use synthetic fluid. 200,000 at least shouldn't be a problem at all, if not more!

My car is at 60,000 miles it seems low to me but what do yall think? with original oil
naw just playing but i think its pretty low in miles

yeah..Ive got a black 98 GTP w/ almost 106k on it and have had it for about 5 weeks now..got it on Feb. 20th..All Ive got to do is get the sunroof realigned and flush the tranny and put in a cooler for it..Hopefully nothing else will happen..had the supercharger replaced about 30k miles ago and had the lower/upper intake gaskets done the day before I got the car(The prev. owner was really nice in doing that for me!!) Anyway..yeah its a fun car to drive! Just need to get a little better gas mileage though..15-17 aint quite cuttin' it w/ gas being 1.65 a gallon..!

This 2001 with only 27,000 Miles won't see long big miles for a while yet...
