			3K?  3K?  you can buy a fricken JDM 5 speed with DCCD for 3K  !
 Worst case you can buy a used transmission for $600 ish
 
 But ya you should try to fix it now if possible.   Maybe someone on the boards will offer to help you out with garage space, and or time.         I'm a lousy mechanic myself and have ran into teh fail when trying to remove/install a transmission,  let alone take one apart...   But with a lil help  you could probably get through it.
 
 sign up for unemployment and use that money to fix your transmission?
