This is true. Mine (2000) went bad at about 155,XXX miles, and changed the whole spider for about $200 in parts. If done at the dealer it's about $900-$1000. Also, the valve body in the transmission tend to go bad on these as well. Many trans shops will try to sell you a new or rebuilt trans if this happens, but do the Sonnax valve body update first ($350-$400 w/labor). If it does go bad, it'll throw a code and give a hard 1-2 shift. Those are the 2 major issues I had with mine, but it's been great otherwise considering the high milage it has.
