I don't know if this is the original transmission or not. This week I'm going to check the fluid levels and see how it looks. I don't drive it a lot. I've looked for other KM145's to drop in (would be a lot faster) but haven't found any. The auto swap sounds attractive, if I could find a donor vehicle.

I'm also forever poor, so even the cheapest things are painful! I'm hoping I can find a parts truck cheap and just swap it. We'll see how it goes.

Oh, and I have no idea if this is the original transmission. I bought the truck with 333K on it over 2 years ago.
