You said:
" Someone told me I would be lucky to hit 50k miles without rebuilding
it. Is this true or just another rumor."

Not so; both the automatic and manual transmissions have extremely low
failure rates with the exception of the governor computer. Our failure rate
data base stops at 150k miles and up to that point the failure rate is just
as low as 25k miles.
