ah ok gotcha. I'm just not sure what the cutoff is to just scrap the
car rather than pumping more money into a 10 year old car.

But it is a Honda and I think if I fixed the tranny it would run another
200k miles.

 

Varies for everyone. Some people feel it's time for a new car the first time they need to replace an air filter. I tend to drive a car until it's worth nearly nothing.

If you decide to scrap the Accord, I'll happily pay scrap value for it. Then... I'll either replace the tranny or have it rebuilt and make a few thousand dollars selling it.

 

I shocked I tell you, Shocked!!

 

S2000's dont have u-joints

 

I'm the same way, Erick, especially where I have the S, I consider that my
"new" car. This is just the first time that I've ever had a car where I had to
make a decision on spending $$$$$ on transmission work.

I've had cars that I bought new and drove for over 350,000 miles before
selling them. And that was a Chrysler product believe it or not.

 

I found a tranny on s2ki. the guy said he would ship the tranny and drive shaft for 700. tranny has 60k on it. I havent bought anything on here before. Is it safe?

 

I admit I know nothing about this type of thing but given that I just
looked at '98 Accord transmissions and they started at 1200 for one
with 100k+ miles, 700 for one with 60k miles shipped seems way low.

 

mark read your pm i hooked u up

 

Mark he is talking about an S tranny which does run cheaper as its manual not an auto like your accord. Ive seen an S tranny go as low as $400 in the for sale threads. Granted you dont find them that cheap everyday but ive seen them down that low.

 

wow ok, I did admit to not knowing squat about this.
