I wouldnt worry about replacing it until it blows.
90k isnt really all that high.
Ive got 99k on my AOD and it shows no signs of giving up.

90K is nothing. I've got 140K on mine.

+1 on the drive it till it pukes. It prolly wouldnt hurt to change the fluid and filter though.

A bench rebuild (you pull and bring it to a shop) is usually $600-900 depending on the internals you want.

Here's one on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-93...QQcmdZViewItem

There's more but I don't feel like listing all of them.


If you want to rebuild it yourself check out this place

Chances are that one has as many miles or more than the one in his car.
