Transmission
I think my transmission is going bad in my car. I drive a 1999 ford taurus. I'm not too farmilar with transmissions in general but I'm pretty sure there's a problem with it. When I excelerate I notice there's a sound like my transmission just drop. Excelleration is the only time this happens but it happens almost always. How do I go about getting it checked? And how much are new transmissions? ( I assume a lot of money) But I'm in college so I need to know a good estimate. Any advice?

Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
You could go to a trusted mechanic and have a diagnostics check run on your car's computer. That should come up with the problem.
I do believe Auto Zone (automotive parts store) does diagnostics checks free of charge.
I don't know much other than that.
I do know like Nova said that it depends on where you go as to the price.
I can call around and get price quotes, but the quotes here in Kansas could greatly differ than the quotes one would get, say in New York.
I can tell you it isn't cheap to replace a transmission, but that is worst case scenario.

First off, I gonna need more info, what does it sound like, does it "lag" during brief moments of acceleration, like when passing? I don't understand what you mean by "drop" does it make like a clunking noise or something? Could be a few other issues rather than the transmission. Could be the fuel filter, fuel pump, or possible it just needs a tune up, plugs, wires, air filter etc... For a 1999 front wheel drive the transmission is not what's going to cost you, it'll be the labor with it. You'll be looking to spend anywhere from 800-1500 dollars depending on where you go, and yes it can vary that much, shop to shop. (we were quoted that for my brother's 98 Taurus 3.0lit) Hopefully it's something simple as a tune up and cheap too.
