The "weak link" in a 2001 is the stop-neutral function. There was a software update issued for all models to disable this feature, but it wasn't done by most dealers unless the owners requested it (since they could get more money by replacing your transmission when it blows up).

If you notice a slight thunk, jerk, or hesitation taking off from a dead stop, take your car and have this update applied to it and you may yet save your transmission for many miles to come.
