How reliable are the manual transmissions on the 2009 generation xD? I have seen a few posts where the clutch pate needed replacing around 100-125k miles. Is long life common or rare with these manual transmission?
By long life, I'm looking for at least 150k miles without any major issues.

What is expected life of engine and trans in these cars - given good maintenance? Any common issues which could be big repairs down the road?

thx much!

Possibly not too helpful and anecdotal, but I had to replace the manual transmission on my 2008 Scion XD April 2022. Not happy with the expensive repair on what is a Toyota engine, and the transmissions are difficult to find
Cheaper than getting a new car, but since the repair, the brake calipers needed replacement and now the cat is leaking. Hope this helps somewhat!
