How many more years do you think you can get on a new/replaced transmission?
I know of one that's at 150kish miles on a replacement transmission
Financially the correct answer is always to repair it. You could replace the transmission every year and it would still be cheaper than paying for a new car.

You didn't look into Nissans CVT problems before buying?
Maybe by the 2020's they got it straight, not sure.

How much is a transmission from honda? I would heavily lean towards replacing the transmission, even if you have to finance the repair. Vehicles are too expensive these days. Unless you're trying to keep up with the neighbors and drive the newest car, I'd fix it and you can always sell it in a year or 2 and get your money back.

How is the vehicle otherwise?
If you are having niggling problems with other systems (electric, brakes, pumps [fuel or water]), or if your engine model has a historical lifespan which is fast approaching, it's probably not worth it.
If everything else is fine and has years left, definitely a new transmission is the way to go.

That was where I was 2 weeks ago.
I just bit the bullet took it up the poop chute on interest rates and bought a new vehicle. I had run my other one so far into the ground that the dealer could only give me 400 dollars, it is a 2012 with over 265k miles on it. So I kept it and dropped to liability only insurance, our neighbor in good hands was charging me over 200 dollars a month for full coverage. So in essence I was insuring it for well more than it was worth.

Think of it like this. I assume they are asking around 4k for a reman transmission that comes with a 3 year warranty. If you were to buy say a new Honda Accord it would run you around 30k plus. If you finance it you'd be looking at around 500-600 per month. So 550 a month for 3 years, which is the length of the warranty on new transmission, would be 18,300. You would save yourself 14,000 over 3 years by fixing the transmission.

Do a basic cost analysis on new transmission versus buying a new/similar car and what you would get in trade /sale for the car with the bum transmission.
Posted on 1/9/25 at 7:27 am to Billy Blanks
You'll probably get the same thing out of the new tranny as the old. If the car is otherwise reliable and ideally functional for you and your family then look at the relative costs.
We had a van when my kids were young. It was a Chrysler product so it went through transmissions but otherwise, it was a perfect vehicle until those two kids were nearly in high school. We probably replaced that transmission twice but got an extra 6 years out of it (it cratered about every 3 years like clockwork) for about a quarter of what the next vehicle cost us.
So if a new vehicle costs you 40K and a new transmission on an otherwise good vehicle that you like costs you 2.5 to 5 K then get the transmission. If you hate the vehicle or it has other issues, then get a different vehicle.

A lot depends on if you csn get a good transmission at a decent price and if you can find a reputable shop to do the work and if you can get a solid warranty.
That's a lot of "ifs" so kind of a tough call...
I'd find a good shop and purchase the transmission through them, and get the warranty through them.

Go with a Jasper transmission. You can pay a little extra for the 100K warranty. It’s worth it.

No. OEM or reputable local rebuild. Don't jack with anything from jasper. Sure they'll warranty it. You have to get it put in, pull it back out, send it back, etc
Dont F with it. OEM replacement or local rebuild only.

Good news though, Honda and Nissan starting a merger

Absolutely not. Jasper is trash for both engines and transmissions. And their "warranty" sucks to deal with.

I replaced mine in a 2016 Silverado at 87000 miles. Truck was paid for and the tranny was $3800. I'm still rolling along with this vehicle with 210,000 miles now. In my case, I think it was worth it.

Sell the car. How much do you want for it?
