Manual trannys are avail for $100-200 at the yards. Some labor and a new battery and you're back up and running.

Cheaper than a new car my friend...

The point is if your car has a manual transmission you can pick up another one from a junkyard, or rebuild the one you have for a couple of bennys, plus it's not too difficult to pull and replace it yourself.

Problems with starting are even easier to fix.

It just occured to me that maybe your engine locked up. What exactly happened?

Head gaskets aren't too bad, just make sure you don't need other engine work, such as rings or bearings.
