IMO: The best option if you don't want to pay the $3k to repair it, buy a ZF 5HP19 FL from a 98-03 VW Passat, or Audi A4/A6 and swap the externals over. They are all over eBay for about $600.
If you want to sell it for $5K, sell the engine for $2200 to $2,500 and sell the Roller (otherwise complete) for $3,000+. If the transmission is already out. It is not much more work to remove the engine.

Sorry, what I get for "multitasking".
But it still applies. A little cheaper repair, but a roller is a roller. I've got a jeep wrangler with a bad head that I want to sell, but I'm going to fix it first so I can sell it properly and get full value for it. I think that's the logical choice here as well.
