Given what you owe, I’d look into a replacement transmission. A used transmission will be less expensive than a rebuilt one, but probably won’t last as long. Find a good transmission shop and get an evaluation. You probably have to pay for the evaluation, but it’s worth it to get an honest estimate of what you need to set your van straight.
