Transmission problems?

Question:
My 1997 Toyota RAV4 , standard 5 speed has lost the 5th gear. I heard that there's an "updated" part. Is it better to just replace the whole tranny with another used one or to have it rebuilt?

It depends upon the cost and warranty and who you take it to. I have had bad experiences with AAMMCO transmissions, they lie about what is wrong and always try to sell you a new one.

how can I tell if my car's speedometer is not working?

You need to weigh those factors: Cost vs. warranty vs. reputation.

I wouldnt put a used one in unless this problem is an unusual defect or from very high mileage. Otherwise I would consider going with a used tranny from a salvage yeard with a warranty.

My fan belt is 9 years old with 70 thousand miles on it but it looks fine should I replace it anyways?

its better to replace it with a used one with less miles if you rebuild it which is very expensive u rely on a mechanic that could make a mistake compared to a transmision that you know is good
