You said the car was under warranty. What does the warranty cover? What is the deductible? Is it a 50/50 warranty where you and the dealer split the repairs?
Unless your warranty is the one you split the cost with the dealership, your transmission should be a covered item and you should only have to pay the deductible and the dealer repair the vehicle.
If it is the 50/50 warranty, you will end up paying the complete repair at the dealers cost after he inflates the number to make it double his cost and put the expense on you. If I had more information, I could be more specific. Read your paperwork they provided you and it should tell you what is covered.

You need to talk to a lawyer. You should get a full refund since he sold you a car that has problems. You can't get your old car back, but that was factored into the purchase of the new car. You should recieve the whole $4,000 back. He should pay off the loan and the rest would go to you. You will lose some money in terms of the what you made in payments since part of that is interest on the loan.
He doesn't have to get you another car. You have the choice of buying another car from him, or someone else. Obviously he didn't use the best business practices in the first deal. It is up to you whether you should trust him or not on a second.
I would get all your money back (but probably have to hire an attorney to do it) and take your business elsewhere.

I WOULD TALK WITH AN ATTORNEY BECAUSE THIS DEALERSHIP IS CLEANING YOUR CLOCK.
