I would say that it depends on the condition of the rest of the car. If you've got body damage, frame, or interior damage, you might be better just switching cars. If you do decide to swap out the engine/tranny, i'd try a major auto chain that sells remanufactured parts. Most will offer a decent warranty. I've never personally changed major components like the engine or the like. However, I know a few people who have gotten many more years out of a favorite vehicle by doing just that. Good luck!

Sorry, I do not know. You just pull a drain plug to drain the transmission. To flush the transmission, he needs to drain the transmission, remove a cooler line, run the engine while filling the transmission so the torque converter can discharge any contaminated fluid. Your fluid must have shown sign of overheating for him to suggest that. Good/smart mechanic. Need more like him.
