My 2005 Passat wagon auto transmission went out with only 140000 miles on it. The engine is strong, the body has some front end cosmetic damage, and the interior is in ok shape.
Question is, do I replace the auto transmission, swap for a manual, or let someone else take on the project? I don’t have the time or experience to do a transmission home either way, if I decide to do that.
I don’t have any emotional attachment, but I like the car!
Maybe I should spring for one of the new buyback cars I see listed all over the place?
Opinions?
Ideas for me?
Thanks!
