I didn't realize there was a known problem with the tranny's in these cars. I had a stock '91 Talon TSI AWD in college. It was a fun car, and zippy, but it couldn't hang with the big boys. The gas mileage couldn't be beat ( I avg'd 28 mpg in the Talon, but I could barely get 19 in the T/A, the stang gets about 23 hwy)

The tranny died at 115,000 miles. The turbo died at 150,000.
