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?
