94 gxe tranny, oh no!
Hey all,
I think my transmission is going out on me. It started two days ago on the freeway I would hit the accelerator and the car would just not pick up and the rpms surged. When I got home, I checked my transmission fluid, looked a little higher than normal, but it was clean (just had tune-up + transmission flush 2 months ago).
Anyway, I've got my mechanic looking at it, but I fear the worst.
Should I get it rebuilt (~$1200) considering:
1. bought the car at 152k in October 2001 for 4.2k. now have 168k on it.
2. replaced timing belt/shocks/brakes for an additional ~$1100 back then.
Is it worth it? Pray for me pleeez.

thanks for the comment.
just got back from the shop. He said he can put in a used on for $1200 that would only last 1-2yrs or a rebuilt one that would last longer. The rebuilt one would run me $1500 instead.
What do you guys think? I told him to do the $1200 one, but should I opt for the higher one? I want to keep my car for at least another 5 yrs I think. (I have 167k on it).
