Please guys i need some advice
i own a 97 accord 2.2L vtec auto tranny 150k miles
basically i dont have the cash to spend so ive been driving with tranny problems, it slips and it only goes up to 2nd or 3rd gear so ive been driving it like that around town only getting to 30mph at 3k rpms yesterday i got fed up nd dropped it off at a shop today i go back to see whats wrong they said the tranny's burnt and to REBUILD IT and put in a new torque converter is gonna cost me $2000 i thought that was way to excessive considering thats what i paid for the car, i guess my question is if you were in my place what would you do? could one try to replace the tranny yourself?

Re: Please guys i need some advice
mike is it possible to replace tranny at home with just a jackstand and lack of experience i mean the most difficult job ive done on a car is replace the harmonic balancer on my 1990 accord which i did today

Yeah, you just need a set of tools and deep sockets. You can get them at Walmart. You can usually rent a 31 mm axle nut socket from most auto parts stores.
Mike has a link to the installation in his sig.
You will need a second jackstand though.
