The problem is not that common unless the previous owner frequented quick lube places. They crank the drain plugs down and crack the case. BTW the oil pan is built into the transmission. I wouldn't blame your mechanic. He seems like a nice enough guy to even bother to replace the JB weld. Most prick mechanics would not do this for you.
What did you pay for the car, may we ask?
$2300 seems reasonable to me as well for a rebuilt tranny installed. And you are right, he doesn't know what else he might find once he gets the engine out, but final approval on repairs is up to you. He can't just replace parts and surprise you with a larger bill.
I wish you luck, and be thankful he is trying to buy you some time.
