Find a used one off of a low mileage car if you don't want to pay the price. That or go to a auto parts store because guaranteed there prices are cheaper then the dealers. When removing the tranny make sure to remove the throttle assist cable that goes to the throttle body because that hangs up when removing the tranny. While its out it would be good to remove the pan and clean the magents and replace the filter saying if you want to rebuild it. Some yards have them for dirt cheap like $200 if you just want to replace the whole assembly.

Just fine a used one if you are willing. The forums is a good way to find one. Hell I have one or two of them laying around

You could find a shop to rebuild the TRQ.
