That's always a tough question...If you can buy a replacement car for the repair cost there is no point in dropping a new transmission into an old car. If your transmission is shot, can the engine be far behind?

If you do your own work, you probably will have a different opinion because you will be ignoring your labor cost in the replacement and you will probably install a used transmission rather than a new or rebuilt.

Sit down with a pen and paper and do an honest assessment of the value of your car and the repair options compared to the cost of a replacement car. You are the only one who can make the decision based on your current financial situation.

Refill transmission fluid on 2002 Buick lesabre custom?

If your 2002 Buick Le Sabre Custom has more than 60,000 miles without a transmission oil change under normal conditions the oil and filter should be replaced. Dusty conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. The transmission pan should be removed, oil drained, and the old filter removed. Clean the oil pan, replace the transmission oil filter with a Delco, Fram, or like quality filter; properly replace the oil pan with proper bolting sequence to avoid leak, and refill with the correct transmission oil.
