Remember, it's a FWD model.
It sounds like your front differential went bad.
You can get a used transmission for maybe $450.00 or so.
A fwd transmission is easier to install than an awd trans, but its not "easy".
The last fwd I swapped I charged $250.00 labor. (Plus filter and fluids.)
Have a used trans installed by someone who knows the car.

ps; It does not have to be an SVX trans.
