My father and I (who share a gasoline car, how's that for _real_ green!;) 
) have always driven Renault or Volvo and we've had them about 15 years or 
so and there never was any transmission problems.

The problems I can think of have been mostly related to the electrical 
system (windows, warning lights not shutting off etc.). Once the handbrake 
got stuck also. Otherwise, the cars have been a dream to own and drive for 
up to 15 years which is the point at which we usually sell them and buy 
1-3 year old car.
