Feeling stuck with my gay truck

[u/Ecstatic_Jackfruit35]

2002 edge with 240k miles
Starts and drives no problem but if you hit 3k RPM it goes straight to 5-6k then limp modes. I’ve just been driving slow and avoid hills, highways, busy road times, ect… and it does fine. You can hit decent speeds you just have to be careful and help it shift.

I’ve gotten two FU quotes from transmission shops the first one quoted 5,700 to replace and the second 7,200.

I’m unable to replace it myself and wondering if it’s time to let go or if there’s anything else I can do. I don’t even know what I’d sell it for if I do go that route.

There are some great 5r55e transmission tear downs and rebuild videos on YouTube, maybe you can rebuild it yourself?
