Ouch. I suspect 3500 including the transmission? What guys do here from work is hit the junk yard for good tranny then put it in themselves. I've been lucky with transmissions. Never had to deal with them, except maybe some 30 years ago or so on a Ford Fairmont. Guy rebuild it and put it on, maybe at the time around 350 bucks. Maybe you can make it worthwhile if you can get another 100k on it.
