5 speed manual transmission needs to be replaced

Well I think the place I took it to and got the used transmission 2 years ago was not good. I asked the guy why it only lasted 2 years and his reply was the type of transmission in my car doesnt last very long and he didnt know how many miles were on it. Im a girl and I dont know much about cars and I think he took advantage of me. Anyways I took it to a transmission specialist and he said it would be better to rebuild. I just dont know what to do.

My car is in good condition other than the transmition. I dont want to just end up losing it with no profit.

Yes I dont think he was a good mechanic because I take my car there for oil change routinely. The other day I got in my car and tried to reverse and it wouldnt go and was grinding. I got it into gear and it was tough changing gears and was making a noise just out of the blue. I towed my car home and was looking under the hood. I checked the oil and it was 2 quarts low which is odd because I still have 50 miles til my next oil change. I took it back to the mechanic and he said I needed another transmission. I was furious I just paid him 2500 2 yearago he said celica transmisssions dont last very long. Well the original lasted 200,000 miles. He is a crook I told him to give me my car and left. I got 2 other opinions and they both said the transmission needed replacement. It his burnt and there is metal in it is what one guy told me. I think the auto shop I was going to completely screwed up. Can I report them?

It was a struggle to get it in reverse and first. After I added oil I figured that was the solution or hoped and drove my car to work the next day it drove fine untill I hit the last redlight I couldnt get it in first gear. I turned my car off and and and struggled till I got it in. Later when I drove home no problems at all. Then when I drove to the mechanics it acted again. Later when I took my car to a new mechanic right when I got to the shop I couldnt change gears at all. I dont think it is even driveable. I have gotten 2 other opinions and they said its the transmission. I dont know who to trust or what to do? Yes I will never go back to that mechanic again.

Also when I would get into gear it would pop out.

I didnt shift with the car off I turned it back on and then double shift into first gear. The peddle felt find just the gears not wanting to work. I thnk im just going to get a new car id rather pay off a loan on a car that will last awhile rather than n a car that could brake down in a week. Especially since there isnt a mechanic I feel I can trust anymore. It is so frustrating.

My car is at a shop right now until I decide what I am going to do. As of right now I have no money to even repair it.

It is so sad how dis honest people can be. The mechanc probably took a sledge hammer to my tranny for all I know. And now I have to get rid of my car I cant afford to fixand try to buy a new car I cant afford, well I hope karma comes back to him. Im going to look at cars tomorrow and see if there is any way to get a trade in. What really sucks is I just paid $400 for new tires a month ago. Life just keeps getting better and better. Thank you so much for your advise and help I appreciate it.

Thanks im gonna need it.

Well the transmission specialist I took my car to said he would never buy a used transmission withut knowing how many miles are on it and I would have been better off with a rebuilt transmssion. It is his fault and he has ruined my life.

And if he had told me any of that why would I pay $2500 for it?
