[QUOTE="J Piroth, post: 1030164, member: 62488"] Had the Trac for a few months over 15 years but this may be the end of the line. Started getting the flashing O/D light last night heading to dinner, then noticed 2nd gear lurching when I drove it home later. Brought it in to a local shop this morning and he confirmed that 2nd is shot. Didn't get an official estimate, but he said it would run about $2K, and since the truck is only worth somewhere around $3K at this point, I can't really justify that even though I only have just over 105,000 miles and the truck is in pretty good shape overall (body mounts were just replaced about 1,000 miles ago, 4X4 control module replaced last year, cruise control sensors & wheel controls replaced last year, upper & lower thermostat housing replaced a few months ago, etc.). According to the guy at the shop, I can keep driving it as is without really risking damaging anything else so I'll likely do that while I figure out what's next. My wife's Pilot is 10 years old at this point and has almost 140K on it, so we need something newer and more dependable. [/QUOTE]
