Hey guys,

This is a quick question. I bought a 95 Integra. It has 210k on the body but the guy who owned swapped out the engine so the new engine has about 82k.

So my question is, since it has "210k" miles on it, that means that's the amount of mileage on the transmission also. So wondering, should I just go ahead and get another transmission of about 80k miles on it or wait until the transmission shows me signs that it needs to be worked on.

Hi there,

If is working fine, i am a believer in the old saying, "if it ain't broken don't touch it" you may get may 1,000's of Km's out of this transmission, when it show signs of a problem do it then.
