Consider Mike Mayberry has a transaxle for sale on here for $5500, fully rebilut, zero miles. IMO that is not a one off they are around for that order of price at present.
By the time you get this transaxle, ship it to someone who can repair it etc. etc. is it really worth the hassle and risk factor. It could easily set you back $5K in rebuild cost, especially if a new R&P is required as welll as general rebuild. Personally I'd keep looking.
