I took the car to the mechanic today to get the transmission fixed. I think I can take a look inside the transmission tomorrow and get a detailed diagnostic.

I hope I get a good fix on this, so that I can enjoy the car for another 12 years without opening the transmission again. I'll try to keep the car and enjoy it, but if it starts asking for lots of maintenence investement I'll have to change my decission.

Thank you all for your imputs. I'll let you knoew the end of the story in a coulple of days.
