A little math

$2200 divided by 48 months comes out to about $46.00 / month. Lets say the maintenance was at least what you paid for the car, so now your car has cost you less than $100.00 per month for the time you've owned it.
What you have to decide is, is it worth it for you to continue to pay slightly more than $100.00 per month for this car? (sure, you will have to replace the tranny, but considering its service life, it won't increase the monthly cost of the car that much)
The math on my car is about $130/month. I will gladly continue to pay that or close to that amount for as long as the car looks fairly decent and drives fairly well.
And remember, the monthly cost generally go down over time if there are no major repairs necessary.
