[QUOTE="Goldmember, post: 1307311, member: 9840"] Looks like the trans is dying in my 04 GT. At this point I have two options for dealing with the problem, and I'm simply looking for opinions/perspectives that I might not have considered. Option 1: remove and replace. This will run a small fortune and add in a new clutch (might as well) = a lot for me to stomach. Add in the issues below and I have to wonder if this makes more financial sense, or.... Option 2: Dump the car and take the hit on another GT or early S197. Details on my car, almost 110K, has been Timeserted on #4 cylinder, undercarriage in rear rusty (needs POR15 job), vibration through the wheel at 45-50 mph more often than not. Rust in lower quarters. Not bad...yet... but no telling if I'll address it before it gets too cold in NY because 4 month old daughter and very limited time to actually do it. I'm leaning toward sayonara. My wife is leaning toward keep it because she's under the assumption I'll lose less $. In my position I can afford about 8K on the high end. Still owe $ on it through early 2017. Could use some thoughts on this one, I have a feeling I know what most will say, but let me hear it.......... [/QUOTE]
