"required new transmission"

"Transmission, most of the time, slips and can be rough or "jerky", especially from 2nd to 3rd gear but 1st to second gear also - varies and seems to get a bit worse the longer/further one drives. Occasionally, the transmission will not engage when shifting to 2nd or 3rd and the engine will "rev" but then engages. Always pulls off in 1st gear. This began happening about 1 year and 4 months ago or at 154000 miles! Independent garage mechanic looked it over and feels it needs an overhaul. I'll driv"
