Transmission in 1999 Honda Accord needs replacement.?

Question

The Honda Accords '97-2000 notariously have transmission problems, which my daughter did not know when she purchased her '99 Accord from someone 1 1/2 years ago. She's had trouble with the car over the past year; they told her it was because of the way it had been driven and it had to adjust to her manner of driving. ?? She's put enough money into the starter and other suggestions that never solved her complaints. Now she's being told she needs a new transmission. Is she better off to just get rid of the car and try to buy another used car, or replace the transmission and keep the car? She doesn't have the money for either, but we'll help her out as best we can. Not sure how many miles she has on the car, will add that as soon as she emails me back.
Thanks for any professional opinions.

there is no reason to get rid of the car with only that many miles on it and there is no way that a car can "adjust" to a certain driving maner even though most cars are electronically controlled now. try to find a transmission specialist to talk to( if they even race their own vehicle thats a plus) and if it is the transmission then they will hopefully be able to help you. find the transmission dipstick and look at the fluid that stays on when you pull it out. the normal color is more of red. if it looks more towards pink or clear then the possibility is that a simple drop of the transmission fluid pan, replacing the filter and topping off the fluid will help. if the fluid looks more dark, then a transmission flush is advisible since just dropping the pan only replaces the fluid in the pan whereas a flush replaces all of the tranny fluid and cleans the entire system. if all it needs is a transmission flush then that will save you over 1k. if it does not help then either a rebuild or a new transmission(whichever one is cheaper) is recommended

If it's a bad transmission, it's time to get rid of it. It would be worth about $2000 if it was in good shape and since it has problems and the previous owner is a dishonest crook, it would be crazy to pour $1500 to $2000 into it. You'll be spending money on it forever.
Don't trust a transmission shop to tell you it needs a new one. Aamco would tell you it needed a new transmission if you bought it in to get the windshield cleaned.

1) You can't for absolutely certain. But simply get estimates at at least two reputable shops, preferably three, and see what they say. 2) New - well, it's NEW. Could last 500,000 miles if you take care of it! VERY expensive. My 560SL's transmission was over $8,500 new. "Refurbished" is NOT a term used for transmissions, but a rebuilt one could be nearly as good as new (at a small fraction of the cost) IF it's rebuilt by a competent shop; and could be under $2,000 for your car. A "remanufactured" transmission (usually from the dealer) is essentially as good as new, and would be $3,000 to $4,000 for your car. 3) NO, absolutely not. NO reputable mechanic would guarantee a unit he didn't rebuild or source himself. 4) Don't be such a sucker. Next time, GET THE CAR INSPECTED FIRST.
