No it isn't the M50D is always known to be junk. It had an internal slave cylinder that would leak and get clutch fluid onto the clutch disc. The Ford ZF5 manual was much better.I’m genuinely surprised. The M50D is known to be reliable, as long as you keep fluid in it. But I haven’t heard of any with as many miles as yours.
Maybe 200k miles is the service life? I mean, that’s right about the life expectancy of most cars sold in the US (12 years/200k miles)
