 You had to replace both didn't you?  My point is that the transmission is 
going to break no matter what you do.  Mine hadn't technically broken yet.  
It was just in the very beginning stages of dying. Not downshifting isn't 
going to do anything in the end.  Since yours made it to 200k, then you had a 
few more miles to go without it breaking.... but it was going to no matter 
what.  Also, the topic was 16V transmission & I see that you have an 8v.  Is 
it a 16V tranny?
