why not get a used tranny and fix the broke one too? then you will have two cars. unless you want the scrap guy to make a fortune on your car,then crush it

Yea, really. At least try putting it up for sale on craigslist or something first.

If you are in GA or nearby; I have an auto trans in my basement. It would need a torque converter if you want to get rid of the vibration at idle but otherwise worked OK
