Default sigh car is almost dead.. maybe?

so the tranny slips real real bad on cold-start. after warming up it's fine. tranny is leaking at about 2 quarts per month.

so how much time do you think i have? can i even go 10k miles like this?

there's just no way i'm spending 2g for a rebuild.

what to do?

well lets see 2g to fix a car that will last you quite sometime vs. spending 2'gs on a piece of $hit hoopty.....hmmmm.....

10k....no....more like maybe 10 more miles..lol

pretty much all the v6's had transmission problems (6th gen)
my friend was a retard and he just went and had it replaced w/ a new one and paid over 4gs.

how many miles do you have on it?

i've been trying to sell it off while passing it off as having no problems but still no one's biting.

thats dishonest, but then I don't have to tell you that. It might be worth fixing, instead of buying some crap car for 2gs

I spend around 2g to rebuild my transmission and I think it was a good decision.
It was either rebuild or buy new car. my car drives like new, smooth zero noise is perfect but ofcourse things happen to a old car but we all know how reliable are honda engines when properly maintain.
I have no car payment
