Wouldn't it be cheaper to get yours repaired? Or is it beyond redemption!

That's tough - hopefully somebody has been in the same position and will post a reply. Auto boxes are usually very reliable so I don't think many will have had them changed.
Does your garage say it's bust or have you actually tried an auto box specialist?

It is certainly unusual for an auto-box to be beyond repair. If you were to get a 'new' one, it would probably be a reconditioned one, which somebody has rebuilt.
The advantage is, of course, time. Take out the old one, in with the reconditioned one.
Then your old 'totally gone' one gets rebuilt for someone else to buy.
