Bought a lemon...now what?

Just found out my transmission on my newly purchased 02 2.4L Tacoma (100k original miles) is bad. Shop said it will be difficult to source a transmission for a full replacement, let alone the individual parts to repair the current one (won't know exactly which parts until they take it apart). I don't have the free time to dig into this since we just had our second kid...what would you do in my position?

 

The transmission in that truck is either a A43D or A44D, they're a dime a dozen compared to the 6-lug truck transmissions. Get another and swap it in...

car-part.com is your friend, a bunch of used whole units in there with warranty for less than a grand.

 

Get a tranny out of a recycle yard and throw it in. Sorry it's bad, but that is pretty unusual.
There are a number of recycle yard around me in Rancho Cordova (outside Sacramento) that sell online also. They might ship you one.

That’s not how the Colorado Lemon law works.
