I think my advice would be this:

Be very careful and take EXTRA vigilant care of a 4T65E, and at the same time, be prepared for your first mechanical failure between 60-75k miles. If you want a Series 2 SSEi and don't plan on a PCM (other mods are fine), you might want to seriously consider a 1996 with the 4T60E(HD).

Over 155,000 on my '97 SE, so probably a 4T60E, right?

Anyway, no trans failure yet, though it does make noise like slippage in 2nd. It has been flushed twice. Once at around 60K and just recently at about 150K.
