Nah, change what's broken. Don't waste any money fixing things that aren't broken.

I paid someone to swap the 6-speed into my white SVX, then it got wrecked about a week after the swap was done. Then I picked up my blue one for $800 with a bad trans and swapped the 6-speed into it myself. Way easier than you might expect, but I did a lot of research before hand and basically watched it done once.

The only thing that I'm not super happy about with the swap is the specific 6-speed I used. It's a really short geared one, but the EG33's awesome torque curve doesn't suit such a short-geared transmission. If I were to do it again, I'd use a 06 STi 6-speed with a DCCD. They are pricey though.

A WRX 5-speed would be pretty fun too, and much cheaper.
