I am sure you can have it repaired for a lot less than $10K.

That's where I'm at as well. 10 seconds of searching and I came up with a dozen used, low mileage 86 transmissions for under $1,000, and a brand new one with warranty for $5,200 (list price is $6,284). Obviously that doesn't include labor but I can't imagine it would be anywhere near $4,000.
