: Am I really in a hopeless situation, or should I bring my car to a
: transmission specialist who might have a cheaper fix?  ...

Why not take it to AAMCO and pay to have them give you an estimate on
it?  They're always advertising on TV about the amount of diagnostic
testing they can do on a transmission (I would assume) before they have
to actually pull the transmission out and charge you an arm and a leg.
It might be worth the $100-$200 or whatever for the estimate if you're
eventually looking at a $2000+ repair bill.  Give 'em a call and find
out how much for an estimate and how much can they diagnose before they
really have to charge you.
