So, I had been having intermittent cases of the check transmission light come on, thought maybe it was a bad sensor since it never went into failover mode like the manual says it should. Took it to a transmission specialist to have it looked at, and they tell me it's bad. While they were looking, we also had them tell us everything that they would recommend done over the next 6 months or so, since we were looking at me needing to return it to daily driver status once I get back from deployment.

All told, it looks like fixing everything will run us about $6-7k. We also have a kid on the way and absolutely MUST replace our other car, as it only has 2 seats. We both work so, we can't just make do with one.

Given all that, I see three options: Fix it, try to sell it with full disclusure to someone who may have the time and aptitude to do the repairs themselves, or part it out.

It has an OME 913 (I think) lift, 285/75R16 General Grabber AT2s (with full size spare on OEM rim) with only about 5-10k or so miles on them (would have to check), a 2" trailer hitch on the back, roof rack with load warrior basket with extension, and Yakima spare tire mount in the basket. Rust on the undercarriage is significant, as the PO lived in Ohio, but the engine doesn't eat oil.

SO.... What would the recommendation be? If I tried to sell, what would be a fair price? I want to fix it, but I just don't know if it makes financial sense.

Thanks!
