    The transmission on my car has been slipping at low speeds now for years. It would be expensive to fix and I just don’t care that much. So what if I can’t accelerate quickly from a stop? The car still gets me around.

      Send it.

      And never, ever change that transmission fluid. That grit is the only thing engaging your gears at this point. Run it until it pops, then go get another one. Transmissions are cheaper than a loan.

        Father’s got a 2010 tacoma that has 180k on it. I’m hoping to maintain it as long as I can as it’s the only vehicle I feel comfortably doing work on. Modern vehicles are designed by sadists. Hopefully i can keep it running until the frame rusts.
