i have a 2001 ex v6 (auto trany) 174,000miles never had a rebuilt motor or tranny, there the same as the day the car left the factory. heres my issue............
so im not sure what i should do with my accord. in the past 8 months i have put brand new motor mounts, trany mounts, radiator, starter, and battery(about $1300 in repairs).
now the check engine light is on, had the code read, turns out its the o2 sensor, then a week later the TCS light turned on, havent had time to get that code read yet, then yesterday the tranny starts slipping really hard in second gear to the point that the car feals like its going to stall out. and to top it off , theres a clunking noise in the back of the car that sounds like the struts are blown, not sure tho. so i figure a tranny rebuild is about 1500 bucks plus another 180 for the o2 sensor after i already put 1300 in to this thing in the past 8 months. is this the begining of a never ending money pit ? what should i do ?
should i sell the car and buy something else, or should i keep it and fix the issues ?
any input will be helpfull thanks
