I got a gearbox flush and service on my 1990 Camry at 170,000 kms it went a lot better after that. It was some high pressure thing they did at the Mobil service stations At 285,000 it was still changing like new. I was looking at buying a Xsara and the dealership sold Ferraris (toowong round about in Brisbane). For a trade in the guy took it for a test-drive and was amazed at the quality of the changes thought it was like new.
