When my 96 had the same problem, I was able to find a rebuilt unit for about $650. About a week after that other people were able to locate one for $500 -$550. If the damage is too bad, bracket kits won't work anymore. I did this in late 02 early 03 and everything is still working fine. Figure another $300 or so at an independent mechanic. Dealer probably won't install a rebuilt, leading you to a $1200 or so motor.
Someone has posted on their experience replacing the motor. It sounded like a pain but may be worth trying.
I had my work done at ConnTech in Rhode Island and they did a great job. I had the rebuilt motor shipped directly to them and they shipped the core back for the refund.
Good luck!
