Transmission Replacement
96 Accord LX
156,000 Last week my transmission went out on me completely. Tranny was slipping out of gear for a while (but was not sure what was happening) then this past Monday tranny went out on me while driving (fortunately was not to far from my mechanic’s shop) had to crawl over to my mechanics shop in 2nd gear with check engine light on. He told me I needed a new transmission. Prior to this happening did not have one day of problems with this car and have owned the car for 7 years. The car however was stolen this past July and not sure what the thieves did to my car when they had it (don’t know if they were racing the car or not). It was missing for less than 48 hours and recovered. In tact from what I could see, outside of a busted ignition and my stuff thrown around in the car. Mechanic suggested a used transmission with 30 day warranty - $1,200. Not sure what to do because I really can’t afford a car payment right now and I can only "pray" that if I went that route -- that the used tranny will hopefully hold up for at least 2 years (enough time to save up a decent downpayment for a new car so my payments would not be too high). Any and all advice would be appreciate. Thanks in advance. -- Posted at author's request, using http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Articles individually verified to usenet standards.
