Let's put it this way - there are perks to memberships to one of the world's smallest clubs.

Just curious, did you consider just replacing the engine? 

Not really. Car was worth about 3k. I think I might have been quoted 4k for the engine. 150k miles on the original transmission.  Had a couple repair jobs in the 1k range already. I think it was on the verge of being a money pit. Car was in not very good cosmetic condition as well

Guy at the shop didn't even try convince me to give him the engine replacement business

In that situation, the tranny would have been next.
