Where online can I buy a used Transmission?

Hi All, I live in Aiea, Hi. I own an Automatic 2000 GMC Jimmy SLS 2 Door. The VIN# is 1GKCT18W3YK218943. I have a tranny problem and the only thing I am interested in is replacing it altogether. See the issue is I also own a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo VIN# 4S2DM58W8Y4327458 as a direct result of the downed Jimmy. My wife for her own reasons wants me to get rid of them both. I'm down with that, I really am but here's the scoop... *Skip to So cutting to the chase* if you need not hear the entire story... The Jimmy was my first new car I ever bought in High School and fully paid for. That SUV has gone to hell and back for me and never missed a beat until I screwed it up. All the construction jobs I ever had, all the tools she's held and after football night parties we've had together. Not to mention my mom cosigning for me at the time trusting me to make my payments. Therefore, there is a tremendous amount of sentimental value with that vehicle and my wife will simply never understand. To replace the downed jimmy until I could get it fixed I purchased a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo. Both cars have one thing in common, they will NOT stop running unless I foul something up. Even with this fact, she wants them gone. It's a new age and I understand that so I'm down. But I also understand the value of getting a little something out of your investment. See she pretty much wants me to give away both of our only mode of, more then two, ways of transportation. I ride a 2008 Kawa ZZR600 and she has a moped. If I got rid of them both, that would only spell more trouble down the line... So *cutting to the chase*, I am trying to sell this Isuzu in order to raise enough money to purchase a replacement tranny for the jimmy so I can sell her, though it pains me so. The problem is the prices for transmissions in Hawaii are ridiculous and trying to buy online is just as crazy! Can someone for the love of all things good and right in the world please point me in the right direction for a website that I can purchase the corresponding tranny for the Jimmy listed above. I would say that my firm price, as in no higher then, is about a grand give or take. If you find one I will be very greatfull and leave you an awesome "they know there shit," comment on here. My plan is this. find a place whether online or local that will fit my price range and sell the Isuzu plus two or three hundred bucks within the time I found my part. Then i'll rent a uHaul truck to pick up said part and call emergency roadside assistance bring the jimmy to my auto pool where it'll take me a weekend to fix. After that, I wave good bye to her as well and we purchase a new four door and use the remaining of what I made as a down payment or as a top up. This plan will minimize the amount of time we are without legit wheels and I don't have to hear "it," day in and day out about the entire situation. SO! Where or what online Junk Yard from the mainland will ship to Hawaii for a total cost of <1000.00. That's less than $1000.00... Answer here or send me a message on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Kinsly.Joseph ! I am fairly desperate so please help. Did I mention that my goal date was my birthday that's at the end of this month? HEEEEEEEEEELP!

1. Hey Man, I bought one for $250 on www.ebay.com and the dude shipped it for $250. Get one too!
2. www.car-part.com I guarantee you'll find one as this site is linked to auto recyclers all over the country. Most have at least a 90 day warranty to.
