I don't even think about it any more. Pony up for a used tranny and get down the road. It's not the end of the world.
Plus, if you put a working tranny in the car you can probably sell it for $7500-9000... it just makes good sense to repair the car and keep it or then sell it.
$4500 is an awful price since the motor is running... don't sell it for this amount of money.

This is very good/logical advice. I would replace with a used trans and keep it. If the situation required, I would replace it with the used trans and then sell the car.
Hell, you'd probably come out farther ahead financiall replacing with used and then just trading it in, as opposed to trying to sell it without a working tranny.
