Has anyone had problems with the transmission on this particular wagon, and
what recommendations do you have for replacing transmission.

Should it be a rebuilt trans?

 

I think you posted in the wrong topic section. From my point of view. If you can do it your self, and rebuild kit is cheap, then go for it. If you dont want to mess with it then new one or profesionally rebuild is the way. Or let someone else rebuild yours.

 

if you rebuild yourlef make sure you flush the tranny cooler ... and the tourqe converter sould be cleaned on the inside too
