I've got a question about a 1998 Chevy Blazer. It has a bad auto transmission. Otherwise its in decent shape.

Do the transmissions in those machines have a weak point in them? The local wrecking yard doesn't have any and couldn't find one nearly all the way across Canada into Quebec. They aren't cheap, either...I was quoted a rebuilt from NAPA at about 1200.

Would it make more sense to swap in a manual transmission? Maybe too many pieces to change over (adding the clutch pedal and all?
