    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

    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
    If it ain't broke... I fix it!

    why spend 300 bucks when someone is offering to give you a transmission?
