All these Monty pics are making me miss my 95 SR. I often considering trading my LC 80 for another Monty. How many miles do you guys plan to get out of your gen 2 and 2.5 engines and tranny. Other than the timing belts what are other expensive PM and repairs?
My 97SR is at 145k. Certainly not the highest mileage I've seen associated with my engine (SOHC 3.5). I'm hoping for 200k, but I drive it so infrequently now that it would take 10 years to see that
Knock on wood, no major repairs yet. Actually, very few minor repairs. The biggest expensive for me has been the timing belt. I had it replaced when I bought it @ 60k and again at 140k.
Had the trans fluid replaced with Mitsu ATF a couple times, other than that I have not touched the tranny.
It seems to run through brake components a bit faster than I would like. I replaced the front and rear calipers since I've owned it (of course rotors and pads too).
Still running the factory adjustable shocks as they still seem to be controlling bounce well, even with a RTT.
