Ok, Lemmings... my 2011 outback has 160k on it and head gasket went out. I'm considering having the work done but curious what's next. How long do those CVT transmissions last? I don't want to dump thousands of dollars only to have another big ticket item break. Thoughts? Any pro tips for questions to ask my mechanic prior to having the work done? I love my repair shop but always slightly worried about getting ripped off.
