What to do

[Thelt]

I have replaced both rear wheel bearings. My transmission is going out. If I replace it will I have all the weak points fixed? I have 131k on it now. What are my odds of making it another 50k with no major repair bills if I get the trans rebuilt?

Not good, not bad... It's just like with any other vehicle, you're gonna get expenses here and there. I would say decide to keep it; or trade it. At some point during the next 50k miles you will have bills - How much or what is a major expense to you? I understand, who wants to keep paying for repairs when they don't have to? At 131k, I would keep my vehicle... unless you are paying cash for a new one w/warranty

You have a plan in mind? Sounds like you're eyeballin' a new vehicle...

It is a good time to buy a car. No one is buying right now so it is a buyers market.
