limp in mode allows you to drive the car to your mechanic to get it fixed, but you can tell its broken so you dont just let it go

so i guess that means that i gonna need a new transmission...i don't know to much about cars...so do you know how much shops charge for a new transmission. a friends told me its going to cost 2,000. if it cost that much i might as well get a 5 speed conversion done. what do you think.

It stays in second if it thinks there is something wrong. Could be TCU, input or output speed sensor, anything electronic with the trans. Doesn't necessarily mean there is anything mechanically wrong with the transaxle. Got a CEL? check the codes.
