Default Advice on 97 Honda Accord LX sedan... Keep it or sell it. ??

Hi,

I have a 97 Honda Accord LX sedan which i purchase from a big Rental
car company in 2001 for almost 10000. Lately i found out that my check
engine like keeps coming on due to a transmission problem. The error
code i get is P730 which is a "gear slip ratio" error.(got this from
two independent tests) My current mileage is 96000 miles. I inquired
the prices for a transmission from a dealer and a independent
mechanic. both of them said it could be anywhere from 1500 for a used
tranny to 3500 for a rebuild tranny.

I am not sure as to which route should i go. Should i go with putting
more money in this old car or should i go to a dealer use it as a
trade in and get another car. I am tempted towards trading it in for
another one...since Its a 4 cylnder its lacks power and i Live in a
hilly region where when i am driving on the hill its like dragging and
lacking power. i dunno if this is because of the tranny or is it cos
its just a regular 4 cylinder engine (not a vtec either). If i go for
a trade in how much is the value for my current car? I went to kbb.com
but they said there is no value for my car if i trade in. So if i
could get a figure as to know what to expect before i goto a dealer.
Any and all help is appeciated.

thanx in advance
