Hi Bryan, if you haven't already, try turning everything on, lights, hi-beam, hazards, etc, and then see if the alternator still holds 13v with a full electrical load happening.

^what Simon said.
Often when the alternators fail, its the regulators, and they will often still throw out 13V, but just no current.

Andy, as for your transmission issues... that sux. Probably going to have to be a used trans replacement?

Your best bet would be to get it rebuilt in the states, be cheaper (and bulletproof). Not sure how you would handle swapping cores etc. I think Brian got a built tranny done, perhaps ask him?
