Built correctly and good maintenance goes a long way. My btr got built in dec 07, and have only changed planateries over a yr ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needed a freshen-up (new bands and torringtons while it was open) after about 50,000km. I never give it a boot full in 4th and drive it like a manual, always down-shifting to use engine breaking. Line pressures were upped both in the box and tune. It bangs firmly into all gears and has never flared. Considering the price of a rebuild and just 1 freshen up in 80,000km, it's a ripper little box for daily driving and as mentioned in previous replies, built right and looked after, it should go for quite a while with power well into the 300rwkw region.
