252K on an original transmission? Sounds like you broke a record and should
be very proud.
No advice on AAMCO. This is a franchise, so every shop may be different. I
used them once, 15 years ago. At first had to go back for a leak due to a
loose cooling tube fitting. Then found out that it refused to down****ft
under load. Took three trips for them to acknowledge the problem, but they
finally found a broken spring in the valve body and replaced it. Years
later, when I replaced the engine, I found out that the original torque
converter was still there, even though AAMCO charged me for a new one.
Nevertheless, that rebuilt C5 is still going strong, and I put 120K on it
since. Certainly got my money's worth, considering that the original one
failed at 75K...
