If you're not driving it hard - fast starts and burnouts - the stock 998 will probably last a while. If you're going to drive it hard, a 727 is bullet proof. It's the shock loads that hurt the internals.

Either way, an auxiliary transmission cooler will really help it last.

Im doing the 4.0 EFI upgrade on mine and i was asking the exact same thing...The general concensus seemed to be that the stock tranny will hold up
