Why not swap in a used transmission?

My mechanic took the tranny down but the salvage yard that promised him the tranny could not deliver.
what are my options now?
Japan engine imports in Richardson told me they have used transmissions in stock. $699 plus tax.
Or should I take my transmission to a transmission shop and let them figure out what's wrong with it and give me an estimate?
any recommendations?

Get an estimate, because if you can rebuild it for same price with new parts might as well. Never know what you getting used and how it was taken care of.

I would keep it going for $800; beats spending more on another car. good luck
