well im starting this thread in order to help me decide on the future of my car. about 3 months ago i had the transmission fluid changed out on my car which has about 122,222 thousand miles on it. i just looked at the fluid today and noticed it is dark and murky, no longer the nice redish pinkish color it should be. that raised a red flag letting me know that my tranny is soon on its way to junkyard heaven. people who look out for me are telling me that it is a bad decision to swap for a rebuilt or newer tranny. i've just spent money on a new egr valve, new thermostats, new radiator everything that id hope to keep the celi running. but it seems to be futile when trying to keep my car as a daily driver. my last car note was paid off in the month of december so i like the feeling of not having a car note. the people who care about my situation are telling me to save up money far a new car and not a tranny what do you guys suggest?

honestly is all to you, is on how much you like the car, would make no sence to put money in it if 3 months later you say " this is not what I want " and get rid of it. but if you're in love with the celi a tranny is not a big expense, I'm sure you'll invest more money modding it than what you're gonna spend fixing it. a good tranny for your GT is an easy find even here on the buying and selling section, and I'm sure it will be low cost.

i dont think that the color of the oil has anything to do with how long your transmission will last.

what would you suggest if i totally flush it out and add new tranny fluid to it there could be a 50/50 chance i might damaged it more
