USA Some advice on a repair/replace timeline??

Hello all. I have a 1998 Camry XLE 4cyl. with 196K.the obvious items it needs are: Struts, shocks, a wheel bearing replacement(should I do both?), and it has a bit of slippage in the auto trans. Not bad, to JUST start feeling this at almost 200K! basically, I dont have the money to take care of all of these at once. Maybe someone could shed some light on repairs from importance. Also, is it best to just go ahead and get the tranny gasket and fluid replaced? I've heard flushing is NO good. Thanks everyone in advance! -Matty

Yeah drop the pan and change the trans fluid. Cost you under 30$, change the filter/strainer also.

If it keeps on slipping dont do anything and drive it untill it dies. Not worth it to drop in a trans at 200k. Unless you can find used for 3-400$ and completely DIY.
