John: Thanks for the reply. I don't have any snow here (San Diego), so traction isn't an issue. I know many Chrysler owners, and you are definitely the exception in regards to the transmission issue. Perhaps the colder weather helps keep it running longer. Who knows. They are definitely more popular than any other make. I had the Taurus wagon for about 3 years, and had nothing but problems with it. It shares the same transmission with the Aero/Windstar. I bought it from a guy who put 2 trannys in it, and put in 2 myself before I got rid of it. Never again! Fords fornever! I apologize for the kind-of off topic thread here. Any replies could be off-list if desired. Paul McCloud
