I'm still very interested in the strength of the auto boxes though.
I'm less than 3000km away from my 60K service and although not required according to the service manual I remember now bringing up with the dealer service manager whether it's wise to do a tranny oil change. I'm going to ask about any troubles or common issues they might have experienced in T5 auto's. If you look at the Brickyard link the troubles posted were for a T5 with over 204,500 miles (approx 326,000km) so that's bloody long driving before a major problem although admitedly it wasn't doing towing, I think chauffeur work.
