Hade been sitting for 2 years car will not start.

Was it parked because it stopped running or was it running before it was parked? If this is a new problem since it was parked, suspect a locked-up fuel pump. Try banging on the bottom of the gas tank while a helper cranks the engine.

Given the age of the car you should have good luck finding a used transmission in a salvage yard. If you're between Ohio and southern Georgia, do a search for "Pull-A-Part" to see if there's a yard near you. Parts are real inexpensive. You throw your tool box in one of their wheel barrows, pay your buck, and you can spend all day there. Cars are already well-supported off the ground and they will drive around and help you haul big and heavy stuff. Employees and customers are very friendly too. My sheet is a few years old, but an automatic transmission, with a warranty, was $55.74 with the old one as a core.
