Absolutely ridiculous. Stop *NOW*, and get the car away from whatever scam
artist has possession at the moment. Rebuilding that transmission
including R&R ought to cost you half of what's been quoted, tops. Even
assuming the present transmission cannot be rebuilt because it is severely
damaged, a used transmission can be purchased and installed (or rebuilt
and installed, as appropriate).
Let's get on
www.car-part.com (searchable used auto parts nationwide) and
have a look, shall we?

Why, lookit there...twelve used transmissions, one with only 5k miles on
it for 750 whole dollars.
Guess your dealer(?) couldn't find one because he didn't look.
