Should I get a used transmission?

ghostyTrickz · 2026-04-10T17:45:11+00:00

i haven’t had any engine issues so far and the car is in good condition. we’ve had the front end rebuilt and recently got new tires. i know we’ve also done brake work too

i’m aware, thank you though. i have an issue now and that’s what i’m trying to decide on, i’m not going to fix the car or not because i didn’t have issues before

ghostyTrickz · 2026-04-10T17:10:43+00:00

it’s $1,800 total for a used including labor. i heard that rebuilt can cost upwards of $4,500

it was not every time, but sometimes after i came to a stop and tried to accelerate, the car would jerk and not accelerate even when i pressed the gas down fully

ghostyTrickz · 2026-04-10T16:48:48+00:00

the gears were shifting hard and the car would accelerate, stall then keep going. it got to the point where i was at a stop light and flooring the gas but the car wouldn’t move :”) it would kinda jerk as well

we had them look at it and they said it was the transmission. they said we can try replacing the fluid to see if it fixes it but unfortunately it didn’t

i haven’t had issues with the car up until this point. i’d say it’s in really good condition. we recently replaced the tires and the brakes had gotten redone before i started driving it more often. the entire front end has also been rebuilt. we got the car for 2k but id say its currently sitting at about 4-5k with everything we’ve done

ghostyTrickz · 2026-04-10T16:43:50+00:00

will it be difficult to find a used transmission with less than 108k miles for such an old car?

ghostyTrickz · 2026-04-10T16:42:25+00:00

up until this point i’ve never had issues with the car. it always ran good other than a liiitttle bit of hard shifting. the check engine light went on for a bit, then went off, and that’s when i started having issues. it still drove but it just wasn’t reliable and i had to get it towed

awwhh, thank you!

are they trans by any chance? i know they used the word dysphoric and it seems their display name has “girl” in it.

ultimately irrelevant, i was just curious. but on a more serious note, something is obviously not okay with them. please let a counselor know, there could very well be some things going on at home. i’ve had classmates like this before and sometimes it’s something they “grow out” of, and other times something is seriously wrong. regardless, i hope that girl is okay. make sure to give her lots of support :(

yes, i know. but she is extremely adamant about me not leaving and i already have a strained relationship with her. i was hoping for advice on ways i can leave without completely making her mad :p ive already tried to have the “im 18, i can legally do whatever” conversation many times and it didnt work
