Need a new transmission. D:

Well, as I was driving the teg home the other day I realized that 5th gear felt a little funny. Well soon after I realized that, my RPMs shot up and I started losing speed. Shit... no more 5th gear. And I hear a slight grinding noise in all gears. Even in neutral.

I'm not a car genius but I suspected I'd need a new transmission. I took my car up to the local Honda place and had them check it out and they said that the transmission needs to be replaced.

Now I love this car to death but I'm not sure if it's worth the money to have the transmission replaced. I mentioned earlier that I'm no car genius. So obviously a transmission isn't something I'm going to install myself. The total is going to be about 1490 for them to put a new transmission in. Eventually I plan to swap out the current motor for a zc and fix the body up a little bit. I already about a grand or so into the engine after I got back from Iraq just to make sure it will run fine until I can find an integra zc motor.

I'm kinda thinking that I should just go ahead and get it fixed but I was wondering if anyone here thinks it's worth it. It's an 89.

I need a new tranny also. Same thing happened to me, 5th gear blew, but it's up to you weather it's worth it or not. Depends how clean the rest of the car is and it also depends on how much like the car.
