I was in the same situation as you last summer. I bought a 2000 CPO Viggen with 39K in 2004. I currently have 134K, use fully synthetic, and well maintained. Ran into problems shifting in the early gears and was told the clutch was starting to go. Went in to get a new clutch at the dealer and ended up needing a new tranny instead. I asked to see the tranny for myself to make sure I was not getting screwed.
I don’t think they make new trannies anymore. I have a rebuilt housing with new gears. Half of that cost will be the labor. I would see if you can get it repaired at an independent shop that won’t charge as much for labor. Unfortunately, I was in a position where I couldn’t go anywhere else since they had my tranny apart. And to top it off my fuel pump went out on my way to work this morning and those run for about $500 plus labor.
