Tranny's usually have a life span of 150k to 300k+ miles. It depends on a couple of factors.
1. How hard do you run your car?
Like an engine, trannys can overheat as well. If you run your car at mach 2 then you should consider putting an external transmission cooling unit on your auto. They are really inexpensive and the cost is much cheaper in comparison than buying a new tranny or rebuilding it due to damage from overheating.
2. I didn't know anything about servicing my transmission. How often should this be done?
You should have your transmission serviced at 30,000 miles. What happens when you get it serviced is they hook it up to a machine that takes the old fluid out. Then the filter is cleaned with a chemical compound that flushes through it. After this they refill your transmission and you are ready to go.
Whenever you do this, your transmission will last for years to come. My 95 Chevy that I just recently totaled out had over 400,000 miles on the original transmission.
