Okay, that sensor is really bad. The damage comes from the inside moving all over the place.
On this one the dealer is correct. You have internal damage and transmission will have to come out. There is no way of cheating this one.
You could consider a used transmission to save some money. There is a site called www. Car-part. Com. They are an excellent resource for used parts. I used them dozens of times for all my used parts with great success.
