I first noticed that it was a little hard to ship into certain gears. I thought there might be problems in the future. Well, that's now. I drove to meet w/some friends, no problem. But then when I got out on the street the car wouldn't go into second. I had to reve it up to keep from being rear ended. Second is shot. I had some luck with third taking backstreets home. I don't think fourth is there either. Do I need a whole new transmission. How much do they cost. I'm an ajunct teacher barely making it as it is!

    yep, the trans will have to be removed and overhauled. it would run anywhere from 1700-2200 depending on hard parts required.

    you could get a used unit but you take a big chance on them as you have no history and very little warranty.
