Reported at 82,000 miles, April 2009 CrashInjury

I am the single owner of the car and been meticulous with maintenance. Then suddenly over the thanksgiving weekend as I stepped on the gas, the car revved up but did not move. Fortunately I was just down the street. Now the mechanic is asking for $2200. Question is if I do spend that amount and get a new transmission, what's the guarantee if that one won't fail?
