My daughter's '92 was just diagnosed with a bad transmission (the fluid is murky black with metal particles). I have tossed about $1000 in repairs into a car that cost me $2250 two months ago and I am loath to shell out for a replacement transmission. My options seem to be a) slice open my wrists and wallet to replace the transmission with a used or rebuilt tranny and hope for the best, b) donate the car to some worthy charity and take the tax deduction (which I don't think will net me much in my current tax status) or c) part out the car (slow death by e-bay). Any ideas from my brighter, more experienced brethren? What my daughter needs is reliable transportation. I would be happy to trade her SVX for a Subaru in good running condition that would get her safely through a couple winters here in hilly Yonkers.
