joflasherTransmission place just called. Said the tranmission fluid was full of metal and a rebuild would cost around $1400. Keep in mind that the Wagon is blue booked around $1000 right now and has a trade in at a dealership of less than $500. FUCK!
How in the world did I miss this? I mean, yeah, she's been acting weird since I parked her but before that, she was pretty good. Maybe a little louder than normal down shifting but not hideous. ARRRGGGHHH!
So now do I skip the rebuild and try to find a use one to put in? Attempt the rebuild myself? Do I even remember how to remove a transmission from its casing? Or do I follow my stepdad's advice and run her till she blows up and then get a new car like I should have done 3 years ago?
It'd be easier if I didn't anthropomorphize my car. Then I wouldn't feel guilty for thinking about abandoning her. I mean, I LIKE the Wagon. I know her quirks. So what if she can't get past 70 on a hill?
*sigh*
advice, please?
