I gotta say it's a tribute to the quality of the product that it was originally unserviceable, but now has parts available.

Usually, it's the other way around.

Back in '92, so few of these transmissions failed that it was cheaper to replace what few did fail, rather than support a parts and service network... Gotta stock parts, train people to work on them, etc. etc... Instead, just yank a transmission off the line, stuff it in a box with some styrofoam peanuts, and ship it to the dealer. Any schmuck can change a transmission.

I'll bet the guy that designed it probably had no idea that his transmission would still be on the road 19 years later.
