I am about to cry - gear case leaked MAJOR problem

As I type, literally I am about to cry. My black convertible 1991 900 Turbo conked out this weekend while on the parkway. It downshifted on it's own and died on the side of the road. I could not get it in any gears. We just had a new clutch ($900) put in. The mechanic (Roland Swedish Saab repair in Brooklyn) said the gear case was leaking oil and it needs a new gear case. He would have to move the engine to get to it and he estimated it would cost $2400.
Folks the car costed $4000 and we have put SO much into it (alarm, new speakers, cd player, kicker bass box). I was about to get a new top (some tears on the top).
I am SOOOOO upset I LOVE my car. What would you all do? I don't have $2400 (he gave us the option of used parts $1600) - trying to buy a house in NYC which is VERY expensive.
Does this price sound reasonable?
ANY advice or input is greatly needed :-(
Simone
