Yeah, they're turds alright:whatever:
Mine has 175000 on it and it's just getting to the point where I'd say it needs a rebuild. It really depends on how they're treated and maintained. Change the fluid once a year and don't try power shifting without an aftermarket shifter and they'll live a long life.
88 TC 5speed, 168000+ miles, stock 2.3T long block, ported RFE6 exhaust, Evergreen T3 running 15#'s.
Up next: FMIC, fresh air intake, ported intakes, ported big valve head.

If you are nice to them they can last a long time , I grenade-ed three of them behind my 289 HIPO, but I was not nice to them though
 I did run a Hurst shifter though
Fox-less at the moment
