As an owner of a '95 SET, I can relate. I bought mine in March '99 with 46k on it, it now has 98k and has needed an average of about $150/month in maint. $7000 maint. on a 14k$ car, especially one as bland as this SET doesn't sit well with me, but alas. "Thanks" for confirming the maint. costs, some folks don't seem to believe my numbers either.
On the bright side, a leaky transmission shouldn't require replacement. Is that what the dealer told you? The trans. in the '94-96's tended to have bad seals; I had mine replaced at about 60k miles. The input shaft seal is prone to failure, but while the trans is out all four seals should be replaced, and optionally the clutch too. Labor to R&R the trans. is 5-6 hours, the seal kit is about $100 and a new clutch kit with cable is about $400. If you don't need the clutch then you're looking at a ~$400 job.
