I have a 95 coupe automatic and I just found out my tranny is slipping. Everything works perfectly except second gear switching to third. When my car switches from second to third my entire car shakes and in order to stop the shaking I would have to take my foot off the gas at second until it automatically switches to third and then continnue to put my foot on the gas again. A mechanic told me he can repair my tranny for $800-900 and since I was planning to get a swap later next year should I get a swap b18 or b16 instead of repairing my tranny? Also how much would a b18 or b16 cost?

800-900 you're gettin ripped off. we sell those transmissions for 100 buck so you do the math. not to mention you can do the labor in 2 hours.

If i were in your shoes. I would just get it swapped because thats alot of money to just get your Auto tranny fixed and Auto's suck and take away some of your power anyways. But you should go with the b16a just to start off with cuz its not that much and you will have a Dohc v-tec with 160hp stock for like $2,500....
