Tranny problem

Driving fine on the highway. Got on the GSP. Go to hit the gas to switch lanes and then nothing just revving. Now my question is should I just fix the A/T trans or swap it out for manual? Which would be cheaper?

it's a toss up...do you want to row gears?

you can generally get a rebuild on the auto for under 2000...downtime is about 2-3 days.

for the 5spd you can probably get all the parts for about 500ish (if you can find it). your labor cost will go up more since there's a lot of things that you need to do that's not just bolt on. down time will be a bit longer.

My problem was that I neglected my car. I'm more riding my VTX 1300. Only use my car for cold weather and rainy days.

IMO drive it until it goes...then spend the money on another beater.
