You are going to have to find you a mechanic that wants to fix up but good luck on that. Where do you live?
I made the decision that if I get another year out of mine I will just enjoy crushing it so nobody else would ever be troubled by its problems!

Tranny might not be that bad. Spend a couple of hundred to have the fluid and filter changed, or at least have the problem diagnosed. If you are definitely going to sell it, I'd probably use eBay too. Also, we have a magazine called Auto Trader that I see around for sale at news stands.

Same thing happen to my 98, trans broke. I was looking for a trade-in, but dealer make sound so nasty that I felt like I have to give them money to take my car (!!!), so I decided to fix it & drive the crap out of it. $1.6K later, car run like charm.

E Bay is the place to sell distressed stuff and yours certainly is distressed. I would hope only to get salvage value from it unless you repair the transmission.
