[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462683, member: 19880"] I would look into getting a used engine from eBay. A bunch of Gen I engines there now for well under $1000. A couple for under $500. Of course, you are taking a chance that it might be as bad (or worse) than your current engine. You would have to talk to the vendors to see how many miles on them, whether there are known issues and what the return policy might be. If you are mechanically adept, an engine swap isn't too awful. A few people here have done their own transmission work as well. Just depends on your skillset, tools and shop facilities. Q: Is the apparent "miss" bad or can you live with it? i.e. Is doing nothing an option? Q: Do you trust the dealer's diagnosis? Worth getting a second opinion? Is it dropping out of gear or just hesitating? The latter would suggest (to me) a fuelling or spark issue... [/QUOTE]
