Good day to all tsikot members.

Guys just need your advise, kasi my A/T got sliding problems already (the 3rd gear doesn't shift automatically but other gears are working well pa naman)

Btw, my car nga pala is 96 Honda Civic LXI.

Now two mechanics advised me to have it "overhauled" or "replace with surplus".

I visit a shop w/c specializes in A/T along Visayas Ave and the name of the shop is Automatic Transmission Master. I have my car checked by them and they advise me for an "overhaul" of my A/T. They quoted me around 40K+ (15K for labor, 21K for A/T rebuild kit and ATF's) and it will be finished within 3-4 days.

I also canvassed sa Evangelista for an A/T replacment and one of the shop (the shop name is Initial D something) quoted me around 9500-12000 for A/T japan surplus plus 3500 labor but it will be done within the day. The warranty though they gave me is only 15 days.

Now i'm kinda confused and puzzled of what sort of action I should take. I don't know what are the pros and cons of both overhaul A/T or replacement A/T.

Can you guys help me out?

Thanks in advance.
