Advice please! I have a charcoal 2000 Mustang V-6 automatic. I've had this car for 9 years and have treated it wonderfully; however, transmission has gone out and I'm not sure if repair is worth it.

If you're mechanically inclined you can save a ton of money with a wrecking yard transmission and replace it yourself.
