What can I do about my old transmission?

So I've got someone to replace my old transmission for a new one and he says he will do it for a low price + he will get to keep the old transmission.





I'm wondering what do you guys think hes gonna do with the old transmission? Is there still some value in it? Its an Honda Civic auto transmission and its already slipped at 95k miles..





Thanks!|||He's going to send it back to the factory he got the new transmission from. It's not new, it's rebuilt. It's part of the deal. If he didn't send the old core back, the rebuilt transmission would have cost him $400 more.

You don't buy new motors and transmissions. You trade old ones and a lot of money for rebuilt ones.|||If your car already has 95K on it, odds are it's not worth the cost of a NEW transmission.





I would just get a used one at a wrecking yard.





There's a value for old transmissions, but why worry about it, just agree on a price with him keeping your old transmission.





Your old transmission probably isn't worth much in the condition it's in anyway.





He'll probably rebuild it and sell it to someone else but that really shouldn't matter to you.|||He'll use it for parts or he'll rebuild it and sell it to someone else. OR, he'll sell it as a "core" to a transmission rebuilding company.|||With just 95,000 miles on your car it is worth putting a transmision in it. As for the old tranny, let the guy have it and don't look back.
