The tranny has 252,000km on it, it'* had only regular maintance, never a serious overhaul, and I guess it'* time is due. It'* shifting hard, not catching gears, and sometimes doesn't come out of 1st or 2nd gear. :(

Ok.... update...
I had her out last night on a "shake down" cruise... everything went better then expected. The tranny is still sorta rough, but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I had a flush done to it only the day before she went into storage, so I'm thinking that helped a lot. She still holds the gear a little too long sometimes and goes into the redline if I'm not careful. But other then that (and a few squeeks around the car) she'* in really good shape for not being moved for 8 months.
Had her out driving around for 2hrs last night, without any real big issues.
Stereo still thumps like you would not believe... I missed the bass....
