Pinion brg shot

My 92 900's pinion bearing is shot. I took it to the Saab Medic in Manasquan, NJ and he confirmed the diagnosis after running the car on his lift.
What I have is, (as we call at work) the F U Trifecta Damned if ya do, damned if you don't, just plain old damned.
I bought the car for $1200
Junkyard quoted $450 for used trans
Rebuilder quoted $1650 uninstalled
Mechanic quoted $3500
So, now the engine is out, the trans is halfway apart, all for one effing $12 bearing. I have no choice but to take a whack at rebuilding it myself. So far everything looks good inside. I got to the problem quickly, as any additional miles would surely start screwing up gears & stuff.
I found myself forced to buy another cheap car quickly. There were no available Saabs (in my price range) so I now have a 90 Thunderbird. I just hope I don't get to liking the T-Bird, cause it would force me to sell my Saab.
We'll see how the rebuild works out.
