I have a 96 626 that has 125,000 miles. I purchased my car in 98 with 60,000 miles. In may of 2000 I had to replace the oxygen sensor. I have also had to replace the left front axel and the right cv joint boot in feb. 2003. Now I have replace my entire transmission which is going to cost around 2300. I had no indications that I had transmission problems until it just quit. On my way to work my car just stopped moving on the interstate. When I pressed the accelerator it wouldn't pull.
