My beloved 1996 J30 did not pass its 18thNew York State inspection. The check engine light problem shows an error for the solenoid. Transmission place replaced the solenoid and still gets the check engine light (emissions light??). They said the fluid is really yukky and bad. I use my J30 as an extra car only in the Summer for the past 10 years. I love this car so much. I bought it new. It has taken me around the country when it was my primary car. It has 120K miles. It is in good shape. The windows are showing age (motors). I live in cold weather climate and have never had a garage and it is still in great shape. Several years ago I moved to the country and she can't handle the hills or even my driveway in the winter. So, she has been my summer car. Well now I have this problem with the transmission. The transmission place said it would cost about $1600 to get the transmission replaced. What should I do? Sell? or Fix? If I sell her how do I determine the price? Thanks for your help. I am a girl who loves automobiles (getting old now at 65) and it is an emotional decision too. Thanks.
