Well, I think I understand about the risks of a transmission failure out
on the road.  What I'm trying to do is make a rational decision about
how to schedule the repair.  Most of my driving is around town, and very
rarely more than five miles; but I have a trip on my schedule in two
weeks which will add up to about 400 miles, I think.  I don't have time
to make the repair before that, so what I'm trying to understand is what
my chances are of successfully getting back with out a failure.  Based
on what I've been hearing from others, I think the chances are good.  I
guess I'm hoping for a confirmation of that.
Best wishes to all.
