FAQ

Is it safe to drive there?

If it is slipping badly, overheating or stuck in limp mode, have it towed. Driving a failing transmission turns worn friction material into metal in the fluid, and that debris can make a repairable unit a replacement. Short and slow beats highway speed if you must move it.

How do I know the clutch is the problem?

On a manual, the engine revs climb without the car speeding up, usually in a high gear on a hill. The bite point creeping toward the top of the pedal travel is the other sign. A crunch going into gear points more at a worn synchro or the clutch not releasing fully.

Is an old car worth a transmission repair?

Weigh the repair against what the car is worth running, and against what else is tired on it. A sound body, good engine and fresh tires argue for fixing it. Rust, a burning engine and worn suspension argue the other way. Ask the shop what it would do with the car.
