Transmission 2001 Honda odyssey 157K mile dtcP0740

My 2001 Honda Odyssey with 157K miles have thrown code – dtc P0740

HONDA dealer fix is to replace the transmission but recommends trade in get another vehicle cause that fix would cost more than the minivans present value…

My question is that, if we replace the transmission – does it mean that minivan gets new life of 100K + miles…???
And would the replaced transmission be BRAND new or refurbished…???

do not have much resources to help me in this area.
Some credible information and suggestions would help a lot.

Thanks

If they give you a written quote, it should say. Also, try another transmission shop. We are talking $ 2-3000 so you can’t get too many estimates. But ask each shop if it’s new or reman., or a repair on the current unit. AAMCO isn’t always that good, but they have a nationwide warranty, as do NAPA autocare centers.
