Reply With Quotei have a 94 with 110xxx, and it still feels good. when it hits 150xxx i'm gonna start car shopping, even though i have no....repeat....no money....at all. i havn't had one tranny problem yet, and i drive it hard!
I was just wondering if it was just me or does everybody have high miles on the galants. And are the trannys made to hold up with proper maintinece. My galant is an 01 ES with 80xxx. What can I say i like to drive. I owe more than the car is worth. I not worried about the car itself cause its bad ass, im just worried about the tranny holding up say over 100xxx miles. I do flush my regulary with Mitsubishi Fluid.

I had a 94 Es a few years ago and i put 153xxx on it and it still ran balls to the was until the tranny went out ant then it put me in a 00 Metro. But i got a new very much high paying job i shitcanned the metro and stuck to my guns and bought an 01 Es a year ago (Had 43xxx) when i bought it.
I think the engine and tranny will hold up just fine up to 100k miles. We've all heard that the engine is nigh indestructible, and my tranny took it in stride when I was spraying nitrous and racing back in the day. Heck I even did it in reverse...only once

Well I'm at 160xxx miles now on my 99 ES V6, and it's holding up quite well, I think this is mostly cause the mile that I put on it are highway miles. I've only had the tranny serviced once, at around 60K so things are holding up pretty well. Actually I'm pretty sure my baby was made on a Wednesday when everybody was sober from the weekend and not rushing to get off on a friday. But since I don't want to jinx myself, that's all I'm going to say about my baby for now, and go knock on some wood.

That good to hear that there are some galants out there that keep ticken after 100k. All of my miles are highway and also i change my oil with Mobile 1 Synthetic oil every 3-4 thousand miles. Done this since i bought it and also change air filter and spark plugs etc, every 25xxx. Its only the tranny that worries me. I dont drive it too hard but i do like to go out and chase 626s, Accords, and those ugly civics and hand them there ass. Is there any way besides flushing to improve the longetivity of the tranny.
maaan. you guys drive alot. a few months ago, i didn't know how i was gonna void my bumper to bumper, 3 years or 36000 miles.
imma say goodbye to mine today. after 35 months of owning the car.
hey i have 85xxx on my 01 es and my tranny is ready to go so... it depends on who you drive and who drove it before you cause mine was a rental car before i got it...
Yes i'm very proud of my car, its a 2000 de and i have 102000 on my baby, and no major problems at all.
Galants are good cars.

Low miles are not always good...
I have 17K on my 2002ES.. which was 'low' miles, thus making the value go up.. THUS not making it a total loss in my accident..
