It can. This whole thread's a pity party.

Any Bseries tranny will work and 'load' has nothing to do with it. Additionally, wth are you talking about with the throwout bearing? That's part of the clutch assemply, not the tranny. Look around, you can find a bseries tranny within your budget and, God forbid, you might have to take the time and get the tools to do the job. I'm sure you can find a friend that has some tools...

Pick yourself up and fix your car. If you truely love it that much, you'd find a way...

btw, how do you know the tranny went out anyway? What are the symptoms?
