A trans with miles on it has a higher potential for breaking. Also when the HD TC gets put there, it might stress the weaker trans more. When it breaks, you would be a fool to reinstall the TC without cutting it apart for cleaning. After that, you have to weld it back together and balance it again. So, unless the seller promises you a free cleaning via cutting it apart, you have to pay for it to be done. IMO, it is better to wait till the trans falls apart completely, rebuild it and add a HD TC.
IF I had gone that route with my trans, I'd be in trouble by now. My diode locked up and I would have to send it out for cleaning.
