Hi Guys

So never done this before but my mate suggested i get on the this forum and see if anyone can help me. I don't have a lot of experience with cars so please excuse my lack of technical terms.

I had my 1996 Civic Vti go in for a service and when i went to pick it up i was told that my gearbox was "flaring". I was told that i needed a new gearbox and that it was probably cheaper to buy a new car. I was pretty upset cause i love this car and it's been in the family for agers. I was told this happens to the vti model a fair bit....

I have got a second opinion from my uncle who is a second hand car dealer and he could find the part slightly cheaper but not a whole lot of difference. The car is coming up to 160,000 and not sure if i should sell it or if there is a way to fix the problem without paying close to 2 grand.

If anyone could help with suggestions or have had the same issue, please let me know.

Cheers
