    Continuing transmission problems. It's sometimes popping out of a low gear and sometimes only grinding instead of popping out (like an intermediary stage to popping out in 1st).
    The fluid was changed a couple of years ago (no leaks)...the shop said there were no shavings in the old fluid... and I swapped the shifter seal/bushing today.

    Realistically how long can I nurse this transmission along and is there any luck with a low mileage used replacement (how to know if it's worth the effort? does the shop doing the work know?) or a rebuilt bought through a shop? TIA
