If you've got the time to invest and a decent collection of tools, you can rebuild a transmission yourself. The seal kit costs ~$50; new clutches are around $25 for the set, and then you have incidentals like the rebuild manual from the ATSG (google it), RTV, trans fluid, etc, plus any broken hard parts you might find. Mine was hydraulically controlled; I'm not sure what a rebuilt solenoid pack goes for on one of these 42LEs. The torque converter is another expense; hopefully it's still good. If the transmission was fragged badly however -- lots of broken metal pieces, etc. -- toss it and get a rebuilt or good used unit.
