If the transmission was original and had 300K miles on it without any work, it was on borrowed time to begin with. Automatic transmission only usually last around 120K before needing attention. She definitely got her money's worth. If she doesn't trust her mechanic, I would find another. So what vehicle is your MIL going to use now that you are buying her Honda?
