If the purchase price was, say, $7000 and you are financed through the dealership, a threat to quit making payments might get them to budge where nothing else will. Just be sure not to store the car at your residence. Leave it with a friend, so it can't be repo-ed.
If you are not financed through the dealership, then take the matter up with your lending institution. They may be able to pressure the dealer to do something.
good luck.

I would caution you on witholding payments unless you can handle a major ding in your credit. Since you purchased the car caveat emptor, you are basically stuck.
Most people spend the money to have an inspection by a trusted third party. Even that might not detect transmission problems. And if you believe a used car salesman when they say the car was inpsected, well...ever hear of swamp land?
Like Cynthetique said earlier, just look at this as a $1,500 learning experience. And when you do have it fixed, at least you'll know it won't break any time soon!
Also, if the car had a 30 warranty, what was covered? The transmission is part of the drive train, which is usually the portion with the longest coverage.
